D. Gukesh, the second youngest Grandmaster in chess history, has gained a wild card for the World Cup beginning in Sochi, Russia, on July 12. Gukesh, 15, is the first among the four nominees of the FIDE president for the event. Gukesh is worthy of being one of the wild cards following his splendid display to tie with fellow-teen Grandmaster P. Iniyan for the top spot in the Indian World Cup qualifier. Iniyan’s victory over Gukesh proved the tie-breaker for the title.More Related News
