DOMMARAJU GUKESH
(born May-29-2006, 16 years old) India

[what is this?]

Candidate Master (2015); International Master (2018); Grandmaster (2019).

Gukesh won his Candidate Master title at the Asian U9 Asian Schools Championship in 2015. His first International Master norm was gained at the First Friday tournament in Puchong, Malaysia held in October 2017, his second at the Moscow Open of 2018. On 10 March 2018, he gained his third IM norm at the completion of the Cappelle la Grande Open when he scored the requisite 7/9 needed for the norm.

As Gukesh's rating had moved above 2400 during the Capelle la Grande Open, his IM title comes into effect upon completion of his 3rd norm, at the age of 11 years 9 months and 9 days.

A month after he won his IM title, Gukesh placing equal third at the Bangkok Chess Club Open, scored an undefeated 7/9 that included a 3/4 score against his GM opponents, including a win against Nigel Short. His result at Bangkok also produced his first GM norm. In December 2018, he won his second GM norm when he took out the Orbis 2 GM round robin event in Paracin in Serbia, with 7.5/9, including a plus score against the GMs in the event. His 3rd GM norm occurred on 15 January 2019 at the Delhi International. As his live rating crossed 2500 during this event, he gained his GM title with immediate effect at the age of 12 years 7 months and 17 days, missing the world record set by Sergey Karjakin for becoming the world's youngest GM by 17 days to become the second youngest GM ever. As of June 2019, he is one of four players who earned their GM titles before the age of 13, including Karjakin, Javokhir Sindarov and Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa.

May-14-22  Albertan: ´´Olympiad a huge chance ´,says Gukesh:

https://www.newindianexpress.com/sp...

Jul-16-22  ndg2: With his third win in a row in the classical part of the ,"Grandmaster Triathlon" in Biel Gukesh is now over 2700 in live ratings as one of the youngest GMs ever.

  tamar: Congratulations Gukesh. 2703 with +19 over last few weeks.
Aug-02-22  ndg2: There's no stopping for now: Gukesh with 5/5 in the 44th Olympiad (2022) and 2714 in live ratings (https://2700chess.com/juniors)

  tamar: Amazing run continues with win as Black over Shirov
Aug-06-22  ndg2: Gukesh now with 8/8 in the Olympiad, beating Caruana. #20 with 16, youwzers!
Aug-06-22  Noah Parking: The Caruana defeat is not posted yet.
Aug-07-22  Whitehat1963: Let’s see how he does once he’s playing often against players rated in the top 20. I don’t think he’s quite ready for prime time yet. But give him about three or four more years, and we’ll see. Ditto Abdusattorov and Firouzja. None of them are quite ready to become consistently top 5 players, but we’ll be seeing a lot of their games for the next 20 years.
Aug-07-22  fisayo123: Firouzja is currently in the top 5. WTH are you talking about
Aug-07-22  fisayo123: I'll like to see Gukesh' record in his last 50 classical games. He must be winning 75-80% of his games.

He's been winning a lot recently and came into the Olympiad with extreme confidence. His result while amazing is not that unbelievable , all things considered.

Aug-07-22  fabelhaft: Gukesh seemed ”normal” in Biel a few weeks ago, scoring +3-2=2 in a field where only Le Quang Liem was 2700…
Aug-07-22  indianchessupdates: Gukesh wins 5 Chess Tournaments in a row till July leading into Olympiad. His performance was nothing less than extraordinary this year.
Aug-07-22  supy: There we go, Gukesh going for 9,0/9! https://www.chessdom.com/gukesh-mam...
Aug-08-22  Rdb: Thank God <gukesh> did not win against <mamdeyrov> in 9th round otherwise excitement/hype would be crazy - conspiracy theories too would be crazier.

Well, even in 8th round too it could be draw but caruana declined draw by repetition.

Oct-05-22  virginmind: His last FIDE rating is 2732, not 2563, maybe you should do something about this, cg.com.

Currently playing in the ECCC 2022.

  fredthebear: Yeah, and update that fine looking beard Gukesh has. It looks good on him, better than mine and yours.

Remember, India had TWO teams finish ahead of the USA and Europe in the 2022 Olympiad!! They kicked our collective buttocks; the respect has been well-earned. They did the IMPOSSIBLE.

India is a chess powerhouse!!

  MissScarlett: In the last Olympics, USA finished 1st with 113 medals; India placed 48th with 7. I'm not even going to mention the Winter Olympics.

  fredthebear: It musta been the Summer Bear Olympics or the Strong Man Challenge or the Dubai Slugfest or the Chick-or-Cheat Games?

I'm thinking of a summer tournament where India finished 3rd and 4th and the USA 5th. It was a real shocker. Maybe it was just the women's portion of the event?

Well, here it is: Chennai Olympiad (2022)

Sorry for being unclear. This AM, I was really thinking about that virgin with 11K posts on this website and wondering how does that happen? Where have I been?? Then I get distracted by the correct spelling and puncturation, and the post just slips off the cage before I know it.

May-04-23  fabelhaft: After his first round win in the Sigeman tournament, Gukesh is just 10 Elo from a top ten spot. He could still get there on the live rating list while being 16 years old…

  MissScarlett: If he's really 16, I'm Max Euwe's uncle.
May-06-23  L13: We live in the 2020s. We have hundreds of pics of Gukesh looking 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. over the years. He looks pretty mature for his age, but there's absolutely no reason to think it's wrong.
