The inspiring journey of Gukesh Dommeraju :
Gukesh Dommaraju, born on May 29, 2006, in Chennai, India . Gukesh began playing chess at the age of seven. His early training was under the guidance of his school coach, Mr. Bhaskar, who quickly recognized his potential. He became a FIDE-rated player in just six months (omg) after learning the game. His subsequent coach, Vijayanand, further honed his skills, leading to his first major win at the 2015 Asian School Chess Championships in the under-9 category
In 2018, Gukesh won the under-12 title at the World Youth Chess Championship with a score of 10/11 points. At just 11 years and 9 months old, he became an International Master. He earned the Grandmaster title in January 2019 at the age of 12 years, 7 months, and 17 days, making him the second-youngest grandmaster in history at that time
