as posted by the channel

18-year-old Gukesh Dommaraju won the final game in a 14-match series in Singapore, thanks to a blunder by his Chinese opponent. The youngster takes over the title of youngest champion from Russia's Gary Kasparov. He was 22 when he won nearly four decades ago. Gukesh says his victory was the best moment of his life.

For more on this, we talk to Judit Polgar. She is an Hungarian chess grand master and considered the greatest female chess player of all time.

And we talk to Dan Heisman. He is a chess master, teaches chess and has written extensively about it. He joins us from Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, in the United States.
