Gukesh’s record is going to last for perhaps a hundred years

Hindustan Times  

A few months back, when Gukesh won the Candidates and qualified to play the World Championship match against defending champion Ding Liren, it was quite a surprise. It was a challenge in the sense that after winning the World Championship in 2023, Ding had not played at all and Gukesh kept on playing well even after the Candidates. Eventually, when Ding became the champion in 2023, all the four titles were with China — the men’s Olympiad, women’s Olympiad, men’s individual and women’s individual. On the government level, we have already started getting a lot of support after the Gukesh’s gold in the Olympiad 2022 and a lot of support is coming from SAI.
