Huge draw from Gukesh to top off an incredible tournament for him. Would have been in tie breaks if either Fabiano or Nepo could somehow find a decisive result, but Fabi couldn’t find the right moves in a winning position under time pressure and they drew. I think Gukesh is the youngest person ever to win the Candidates, but stand to be corrected. He showed a ton of composure in the last few games when the pressure was on—very impressive.
EDIT: obviously I was beaten to it and yes he is the youngest. Very impressive.
