India's Chess Star D Gukesh Confident Of Meeting Expectations

Star Indian chess player D Gukesh is embracing the "new level" of competition where he is confident of handling the challenges and "meeting the expectations". Gukesh became the youngest chess world champion when he defeated Ding Liren of China last year in Singapore at just 18 years of age. Set to compete in the elite Norway Chess tournament beginning on Monday, the Chennai youngster said the only thing he needed to gain more success was to keep random thoughts at bay and just concentrate on the game. "It is a new level (for me). But when I see it as a challenge to prove to myself that I can handle this, even though the expectations are high, I can meet them if I keep working hard and doing my best," said the Indian Grandmaster.

Gukesh was 17 when he defeated China's reigning world champion Ding Liren in a 14-game showdown to claim the coveted title last year. Kasparov was 22 when he clinched the world crown back in 1985, beating compatriot Anatoly Karpov.
