The best-of-14-games match for the World Chess Championship between Ding Liren and Gukesh Dommaraju will be held from November 23 to December 15 in Singapore, with a prize fund of $2.5 million.
Ding Liren, China's first men's world chess champion, is seen as an underdog due to personal struggles and only 44 classical games played since winning the title.
Gukesh Dommaraju, at 18, has the potential to become the youngest ever world champion, boasting an impressive victory in the Candidates tournament at just 17.
The championship will consist of 14 classical games, with a total of 7.5 points needed to win; tie breaks include rapid games if necessary.
