ai generated text
Gukesh Dommaraju, an 18-year-old Indian chess player, has become the youngest world chess champion in history. He achieved this feat by defeating Ding Liren, the defending champion from China, in the final game of the 14-game World Chess Championship held in Singapore.
His triumph has not only etched his name in the annals of chess history but has also inspired millions of young minds to dream big and pursue excellence.
It's a proud moment for chess, a proud moment for India … and for me, a very personal moment of pride.
I was dreaming this moment for the last 10 years. I am happy that I realised the dream (and made it) into reality.
My whole strategy for this match was to push as much as possible in every single game.
And I'm thankful for all the people who have been by my side on this journey. I would like to thank each and every one of them, but probably I will have to prepare my speech first because (with) the kind of emotions I'm feeling right now I'll say something stupid.
Initially I just used to watch my family members play chess at home, just as a hobby, just like any other board game. But then I got interested in the game and I happened to enrol in a chess summer camp in my school… there one of the coaches spotted I had good talent for that.
