Gukesh's victory in the Candidates championship is a testament to India's thriving chess ecosystem
The 17-year-old from Nagpur recently won the FIDE Junior World Rapid Champion before finishing second in the FIDE Junior Blitz World Championships.
Dommaraju Gukesh is currently world number eight, with an Elo of 2758. The most amazing thing is that he has just turned seventeen years old! His strongest points are the attack and deep calculation. Vidit Gujrathi, who won the U14 World Championship in 2008, is currently rated 2716. His strengths are similarly advanced tactics and calculations. Both these Indian Super-Grandmasters have produced Fritztrainers for ChessBase, which you can get for a special summer price this week: €64.90 instead of €79.80 for both packages.
... and calculations like a Super Grandmaster – which he is. Vidit Santosh Gujrathi, born 1994, attained the GM title at the age of nineteen. In August 2022 he became the second highest rated player in India (behind Viswanathan Anand), crossing the Elo rating threshold of 2700. Today we are releasing his latest Fritztrainer, one in which he shares his secrets of success at the pinnacle of the chess world.
He is closing in on the title of International Master.
