Indian teenager Gukesh Dommaraju capped a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of chess by dethroning China’s Ding Liren to become the youngest ever world chess champion on Thursday in Singapore.

The 18-year-old from Chennai snatched the decisive victory in the final game of their best-of-14-games showdown, which appeared bound for a draw until a stunning blunder by Ding in the final reel. The 32-year-old champion resigned moments later after a game that lasted just over four hours.
