As the Chess community, not just in India but across the world is celebrating its youngest World Champion -- 19-year-old D Gukesh, a disturbing accusation from Russian Chess Federation chief Filatov has emerged.

Filatov, according to Russian media, had accused the defending champion Ding Liren (China) of losing the all important final game on purpose.

A blunder by the Chinese player in the 14th game that cost him the world title, also kept him at the receiving end of the serious allegations.

"Losing the position in which Ding Liren was is difficult even for a first-class player. The defeat of the Chinese player in today's game raises a lot of questions and looks like a deliberate one," the Russian Chess Federation chief said as quoted by local news agency TASS.

Filatov even went on to seeking a detailed investigation into the match by FIDE.

"The result of the last game caused bewilderment among professionals and chess fans. The actions of the Chinese chess player in the decisive segment are extremely suspicious and require a separate investigation by FIDE," he added.

Interestingly, Gukesh, 19, surpassed Russia's legendary Garry Kasparov as the youngest world chess champion. Kasparov achieved the feat when he won the title at the age of 22.

On Thursday, Gukesh secured the requisite 7.5 points as against 6.5 of Liren after winning the last classical time control game of the 14-game match that seemed headed for a draw for most part. ( Source : Deccan Chronicle )

Why so salty?

He's past his prime, and unlike Vishy Anand, who is still among the top 10 ranked players in the world, he has lost matches to even ordinary players.

I believe he might doing this for gaining notoriety

Many people were not aware of his existence until this controversial post.

India dehumanizing seems to be quickest for forgotten vermins like these to get some limelight

Since according to them Nanking spawn Han IQ cannot lose

Kramnik is basically a butthurt chess GM whos entire life has been, in a nutshell, a story of 'i can tool kasparov and anand back to back on my day, but i cannot put together 6 months straight without playing like shit at least one or two matches vs someone ' kinda dude.
And he has a terrible BM habit by chess standards ( bad mouthing) due to him being butthurt. Its kinda annoying to deal with, coz Kramnik is and always was a very smooth and complex chess player on his day, a bit like Alekhine but he has the entire stamina of a hamster in a marathon world and is the KING of mental collapses throughout his career and then being butthurt over it.
No one can do anything right in Kramnik's eyes, except Kramnik. fuck him.

Here's the sad part. Kramnik held a training camp with 6 young Indian prodigies six years back.

Gukesh was 12 back then and Kramnik said Gukesh will be World Champion in 8 years.

He'd have been hailed as a genius for predicting Gukesh's rise but he chose to be butthurt.

It is a new development that will boost Indian chess beyond measure: Vladimir Kramnik, the 14th World Champion, has started to work with six talented Indian youngsters in a training camp that will be held in Chens-Sur-Leman, France. It is the first of four sessions and is sponsored by the...
