Consider the following statements regarding chess titles and recent developments :
1. The winner of the World Chess Championship is accorded the title of Grandmaster.
2. Once awarded, the title of Grandmaster is generally held for life.
3. Gukesh Dommaraju became the youngest World Chess Champion by defeating Ding Liren of China in the 2024 FIDE World Chess Championship.
How many of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Answer: B
Only two statements are correct, so the answer is Only two, on the key's reading that statement 1 is the false one.
Statement 1: a player does not gain the Grandmaster title by winning the World Championship. FIDE awards titles through norms and rating, or directly for particular results listed in its title regulations, and that direct-titles table has no row for the World Championship. A champion is already a Grandmaster before the match; Gukesh earned the title in 2019. The word 'accorded' is loose, so this statement is the weak point of the question.
Statement 2 is right: a FIDE title once awarded is kept for life. Statement 3 is right: Gukesh Dommaraju beat Ding Liren in Singapore in December 2024 and, at 18, became the youngest undisputed World Champion.
'All three' would need statement 1 to hold, and 'only one' would need one of the other two to fail.
