#Gukesh Dommaraju

Last and 5½ points back after seven rounds, Praggnanandhaa won his final four classical games — over Firouzja, Carlsen, Gukesh and Keymer — to take the title on Carlsen's home soil. He is the first Indian to win Norway Chess.

The world No. 1 has lost twice in three classical games on home turf, sitting four points behind Alireza Firouzja after four rounds of ten.

In 2023, Magnus Carlsen walked away from the world chess championship he had held for ten years. Three years on, has the game survived without him?

At 18, D. Gukesh became the youngest world chess champion in history. The Indian generation behind him is not an accident — it is the end of an order.
