D Gukesh, a young Indian grandmaster, beat Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan, a former world rapid champion, in the final to win the World Chess Armageddon Asia & Oceania event.
Gukesh emerged winner in a topsy-turvy summit clash.
The first game of the 'new' match was a draw after a perpetual check from Gukesh. He won the next game to emerge champion.
The 16-year-old Indian Gukesh won in a field that included former world classical champion Vladimir Kramnik, Daniil Dubov, Yangyi Yu (China), Vidit Gujrathi and Karthikeyan Murali (both India) and Param Maghsoodloo (Iran), apart from Abdusattorov.
An Armageddon game is a variation of blitz chess in which a winner is chosen after a series of games that ended in draws. A drawn game in the Armageddon is counted as a win for Black.
