National under-11 champion Gukesh's brilliant double bishop sacrifice!

"I love Vishy Anand​," says the under-11 National Champion D. Gukesh. "That's the reason why I play the Semi-Slav. In the 5th round of the National under-11 2017 he played a game that would have made Anand proud! Have a look at this brilliant double bishop sacrifice game and learn from one of India's biggest chess talents.

Few games away from becoming the Youngest freakinnng World Chess Champion!! GO GUKESHHHHH

[@listianomonaldo6952]

And he won the candidates

[@imnoobplshelp]

erm. winning the candidates doesnt equate to becoming world champion. it is magnitudes harder to win in the wcc. and note that ding has a 2-0 record against gukesh so it's anything but easy. the 17 year old from india has already made history. even kasaprov only won the candidates at age 20, although kasparov was much higher rated, gukesh is playing against modern players with engine prep, showing off his innate skill. still, long way to go, we will see in november who wins.
