The best-of-14-games match is scheduled to take place from 23 November to 15 December at Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore for an overall prize fund of $2.5m (\u00a31.98m).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ding became China's first men\u2019s world chess champion by defeating Ian Nepomniachtchi last year in Kazakhstan, winning the title vacated by longtime world No 1 Magnus Carlsen of Norway. But the 32-year-old from Zhejiang province has played only 44 classical games in the 19 months since winning the world title while battling personal difficulties including depression and will go off as an underdog in his first world title defense.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gukesh, commonly known as Gukesh D, stunned the chess establishment by winning the eight-man Candidates tournament in Toronto aged 17 to become the youngest ever challenger for the world championship, finishing top of a stacked field that included Nepomniachtchi, Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana. The 18-year-old can shatter the record for youngest ever world champion held by Garry Kasparov, who was 22 when he dethroned Karpov in their 1985 rematch in Moscow.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The format&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The match will consist of 14 classical games with each player awarded one point for a win and a half-point for a draw. Whoever reaches seven and a half points first will be declared the champion.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The time control for each game in the classical portion is 120 minutes per side for the first 40 moves, then 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move starting with move 41.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the score is equal after 14 games, tiebreak games with faster time controls will be played:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00a0A match consisting of four rapid games with 15 minutes per side and a 10-second increment starting with move 1 would be played.

If a player scored 1\u00bd points or more, he would win the championship. A drawing of lots would take place before each mini-match to decide which player plays with the white pieces.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022\u00a0If the blitz mini-match are tied, a single blitz game with a time control of three minutes per side and a two-second increment starting with move 1 would be played, and the winner would win the championship. A drawing of lots would decide which player plays with the white pieces. If this game was drawn, another blitz game with reversed colors would be played with the same time control, and the winner would win the championship. This process is repeated until either player wins a game.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Players are not allowed to agree to a draw before black's 40th move.

Until April, teenagers had had an indifferent record in the Candidates over the years. Only Bobby Fischer in 1959 and Carlsen in 2006, both then 16, were younger than Gukesh, and both were also-rans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-180skgt\">\u201cMy journey, it\u2019s been since the time I started playing chess at six and a half, seven [years old],\u201d Gukesh said. \u201cI\u2019ve been dreaming about this moment for more than 10 years.
