The 15-year old GM from Chennai, who remained unbeaten through the nine rounds, defeated Israel’s Victor Mikhalevski in the final round late on Sunday to emerge clear winner ahead of Haik M Martirosyan of Armenia, who secured 7.5 points.
Gukesh’s compatriot—R Praggnanandhaa, another teenaged GM, took the third spot. He finished with seven points as did four others including another Indian Raunak Sadhwani but won the third prize on the basis of a better tie-break score.
