It’s a picture of grit, talent, and unshakable support — a story of a dream pursued and realised over five extraordinary years.
In 2019, D Gukesh, a 12-year-old chess prodigy from Chennai, became the world’s second-youngest Grandmaster, standing proud alongside his parents who had supported his passion every step of the way.
Fast forward to 2024: Gukesh stands in a similar frame with his parents, but this time as the World Chess Champion, a title that cements his place among the greatest in the game.
The two images, side by side, speak louder than words — a journey of relentless hard work, a family’s firm belief, and a shared dream that has reached its ultimate checkmate.
