India's 17-year-old Grandmaster D Gukesh scripted history by winning the Candidates Chess Tournament. He bettered a record created by the legendary Garry Kasparov 40 years ago. Gukesh played out an easy draw with American Hikaru Nakamura in the 14th and final round to finish with nine out of a possible 14 points. The triumph entitles Gukesh a clash against reigning world champion Ding Liren of China in the last quarter of the year.
