FIDE World Chess Championship 2024: Live Streaming Details
The much-anticipated 2024 FIDE World Chess Championship is set to begin on Monday, November 25. Chess enthusiasts are eager to witness an epic showdown as two of the sport’s finest minds clash over 14 intense rounds. Reigning champion Ding Liren of China will defend his title against India’s Gukesh Dommaraju, who earned his place in this prestigious match by winning the Candidates Tournament in Toronto earlier this year. Remarkably, this is the first time in 138 years that two Asian grandmasters will compete for the ultimate prize in chess.
Gukesh Dommaraju is on the cusp of history, aiming to become the youngest World Chess Champion ever. If he succeeds, he will join the legendary Vishwanathan Anand as the second Indian to claim the coveted crown. Anand held the championship title five times in his illustrious career. However, the challenge will be formidable for the 18-year-old prodigy, as Ding Liren, China’s first-ever World Chess Champion, is coming off a marathon victory against Russia’s Ian Nepomniachtchi last year.
