Indian teenager Gukesh Dommaraju has made chess history by becoming the youngest world champion after his surprise win over the defending champion, China's Ding Liren, on Thursday in Singapore.
The big picture: The 18-year-old from the southeast Indian city of Chennai's FIDE World Chess Championship win means he's surpassed Garry Kasparov's record set in 1985, when the Russian grandmaster won the title at age 22.
