India's Gukesh Dommaraju holds his World Chess Champion ship trophy as he greeted with a garland during a press conference in Chennai on December 16, 2024 for his win at the FIDE World Chess Champion ship Singapore 2024. Gukesh stunned China's Ding Liren on December 12, when he seized upon an unfortunate blunder to win the last game of the World Chess Champion ship and clinch the title in Singapore.
"It means a lot to bring back the trophy to India," Gukesh told reporters, with garlands of flowers draped around his neck, brandishing the glittering trophy in his hand. The scenes in the south Indian city of Chennai were reminiscent -- albeit on a smaller scale -- of this year's triumphant homecoming of the country's cricket stars with the T20 World Cup trophy.
Gukesh, who is usually reserved and more used to quiet and cerebral tournaments than wild celebrations, looked almost overwhelmed by the rock star welcome on Monday. Gukesh surpassed a record held by Russia's Garry Kasparov, who won the title at age 22, after Ding, 32, faltered at the final hurdle of his title defence.
