Who, in the year 2024, became the youngest player ever to win the FIDE Candidates Tournament ?

  • A.Viswanathan Anand
  • B.Garry Kasparov
  • C.D. Gukesh
  • D.Ding Liren

Answer: C

The youngest Candidates winner is D. Gukesh.

At 17, Gukesh Dommaraju won the 2024 FIDE Candidates Tournament in Toronto, becoming the youngest player ever to win it, and went on to beat Ding Liren for the World Championship later that year.

He broke the record previously held by Garry Kasparov. Anand and Ding Liren were older when they won their places as challengers.

The Candidates Tournament decides the challenger for the World Chess Championship, so his win earned him the title match.
