World chess championship | World champion

The world championship is the peak of classical chess. The champion comes from the Candidates cycle and then a title match.

Gukesh Dommaraju won the title in 2024 as the youngest champion in history. Magnus Carlsen held it for years before and still sits at the top of the world ranking.
