Ding Liren's sensational ascent has given China its first men's world chess champion.

The 30-year-old grandmaster had only been granted the chance to compete at the World Chess Championship after top-ranked Magnus Carlsen chose not to defend his title. Ding outclassed Russia's Ian Nepomniachtchi by 2.5 points to 1.5 in a nerve-wracking tiebreak playoff on Sunday.

Ding's victory means China now holds both the men's and women's world titles, with current women's champion Ju Wenjun set to face her compatriot Lei Tingjie in a title-decider in July.

China’s chess scene

· Starting from Xie Jun's groundbreaking victory in the women's World Chess Championship in 1991, Chinese chess has been scaling new heights on the global stage

· The Chinese women's team won their first Chess Olympiad in 1998

· The Chinese men's team toppled the 87-year-old dominance of European and American players to claim their first Chess Olympiad in 2014

· With Ding's impressive capture of the world championship, China has cemented its place among the very best in the world chess scene.
