Gukesh dethrones Vishy Anand's 37-year-long reign as India no.1 officially, also becomes World no.8 - ChessBase India

GM D Gukesh is a phenomenal talent. He became India no.1 by winning against GM Misratdin Iskandarov (AZE) in Round 2.2 of FIDE World Cup 2023. The 17-year-old delivered a stellar performance at the important knockout event. The soft-spoken powerhouse got eliminated in the Quarterfinals by the eventual winner, Magnus Carlsen. The world no.1 mentioned that he is extremely strong, he was unlucky to face him on the day when he showed his best. FIDE World Cup 2023 Silver medalist, GM R Praggnanandhaa's rating is now, 2727. It made him India no.3 and World no.19 (active players). India currently has five players in the World Top 30. Pentala Harikrishna is World no.31. The number of Indians in the World's best will only increase over time. Sarayu Velpula makes a spectacular entry into the India top 10 women.

After the win against Ding today, Giri has a rare feat of defeating two different world champions in the same year in classical chess. Who did it last time? : r/chess
