Indian teenager D. Gukesh made chess history in the Aimchess Rapid today as he became the youngest player ever to beat Magnus Carlsen as World Champion.
Incredibly, the 16-year-old's win was Carlsen's second loss in two days against one of India's new crop of talented teenagers in the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. Carlsen went down yesterday to 19-year-old Arjun Erigaisi.
Gukesh was 16 years 4 months 20 days while the previous record before Gukesh's win was Praggnanandhaa's 39-move victory over Carlsen in the Airthings Masters in February. Pragg, who is not playing in this event, was 16 years 6 months and 10 days old.
Despite the win, Gukesh wasn't impressed with his own play. "Obviously, beating Magnus is always special but I was not really very proud of that game," he said.'
