Indian chess fans are abuzz with the possibility of an exciting clash between two of the country’s finest young talents, D Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi, on the world stage. While D Gukesh recently made history as the youngest-ever world chess champion at just 18, Arjun Erigaisi remains the highest-ranked Indian player, currently positioned fourth globally, just ahead of Gukesh, who is fifth.
Gukesh’s meteoric rise was cemented with his victory over defending champion Ding Liren in the World Chess Championship held in Singapore. In a nail-biting series, Gukesh clinched three wins compared to Liren’s two, with nine games ending in draws. The final, fourteenth classical game saw a dramatic conclusion as a costly misstep by Liren on his 55th move led to his resignation, paving the way for Gukesh to claim the coveted title.
Despite his championship triumph, Gukesh’s global ranking places him behind Arjun Erigaisi, another young prodigy who has consistently showcased remarkable performances on the chessboard. This ranking dynamic has sparked enthusiasm among fans for a potential face-off between the two stars in a future World Chess Championship.
Addressing these speculations during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, Indian chess legend Viswanathan Anand shared his thoughts. Anand, ever pragmatic, estimated a “5-10 percent chance” of such a showdown happening in the near future.
Both players have demonstrated exceptional skill and poise, and their rise marks a new golden era for Indian chess. A Gukesh vs. Erigaisi clash on the world stage would undoubtedly be a historic moment, further solidifying India’s dominance in the global chess arena.
