History has been made! We have a new challenger for the World Chess Championship:

Congratulations to 17-year-old Gukesh for winning the 2024 #FIDECandidates - the youngest player ever to qualify for the World Championship match!

Gukesh drew with Nakamura in the final round of the #FIDECandidates and now only Caruana can stop the 17-year-old from winning the tournament outright with a victory over Nepo! Gukesh and Caruana would face each other in a tiebreak tomorrow.
