Dear Reader,

Gukesh Dommaraju is the new undisputed World Chess Champion, the youngest ever at the age of 18 years.

The latest edition of our weekend magazine — WORLD CHAMPION — features cover stories capturing D Gukesh's successful world championship campaign.

K Balakumar in his cover piece for the magazine outlines how nothing was left to happenstance by Gukesh and his team at Singapore.


Then we have yet another piece by Balakumar on how Viswanathan Anand made an Chennai and India re-discover Chess.

In April, when Gukesh won the Candidates Tournament to qualify for the World Chess Championship that he has won now, Balakumar wrote that 'Chennai Super King Gukesh' should "fancy his chance to become the youngest world champion" given his his intensity and preparation commitment.

And while you are here, may we request you to scroll down a little more and continue reading?
