Viswanathan Anand predicts possibility of all-India D Gukesh vs Arjun Erigaisi World Chess Championship face-off

Hindustan Times  

D Gukesh scripted history recently, becoming the youngest-ever world chess champion at the age of 18. The Indian grandmaster achieved the feat by defeating defending champion Ding Liren at the World Chess Championship in Singapore. D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi after the latter won the final round match against GM Jan Subelj of Slovenia at the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad, in Budapest. Despite his world championship title, Gukesh is still not the best ranked Indian chess player. According to the rankings, Gukesh is currently ranked fifth in the world and Arjun Erigaisi is fourth, which makes him the highest-ranked Indian chess player.
