D Gukesh Vs Ding Liren World Chess Championship Game 14 Live Updates: Meet The Challenger
Who is D Gukesh?
18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju has taken the chess world by storm. Currently boasting a whopping 2783 FIDE rating, number five in the world, Gukesh qualified for this match by dominating the 2024 April Candidates tournament in Toronto; in his first-ever appearance he claimed first, becoming the youngest-ever challenger in the history of chess.
An under-12 World Youth Champion in Spain, multiple gold medalist in the Asian games, dominating many international tournaments all over the world, Gukesh has built an extraordinary career over the past six years.
His recent achievements also include an impressive gold medal on board one of the Indian team that brilliantly won the 45th Chess Olympiad, renewing an individual gold that he secured in his hometown, Chennai, two years before.
Nonetheless, it remains to be seen if Gukesh will be able to continue this seemingly untrue run of success, avoiding the inevitable spotlights and attention that he will experience.
D Gukesh Vs Ding Liren World Chess Championship Game 14 Live Updates: Meet The Reigning Champ
Who is Ding Liren?
Rated 2728, Chinese Grandmaster Ding Liren is the reigning World Champion. At 32, he will defend his title for the first time, after defeating Ian Nepomniachtchi in 2023, in arguably one of the most exciting matches in history.
He is the highest-rated Chinese player of all time, with a peak rating of 2816 in 2018, and a three-time Chinese champion. Amongst his many unbelievable achievements is a 100-game unbeaten streak, one of the longest in history, which will forever remain in the memories of chess fans all over the world.
Notwithstanding, the 2023 World Championship match took its toll. Personal difficulties including depression led to a nine-month hiatus from competitive chess, during which he focused on his mental health. His return to the board at Tata Steel at the beginning of 2024 didn’t go as expected, while Norway Chess in June also turned into another unremarkable performance.
Recent events such as the 11th Sinquefield Cup and the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest don’t give the impression that Ding is fully recovered, but without a doubt if he is able to bring his best game to Singapore he will be a formidable opponent.
