NEW DELHI: D Gukesh won the World Chess Championship by raising India's profile in front of the world. The 18-year-old Gukesh achieved a record victory by defeating Chinese player and former champion Ding Liren of China. While his victory is being celebrated across the country, a report published by the newspaper 'The Free Press Journal' is now the talk of the town.

The news of the World Chess Championship was published with the Chinese dish chow mein and sambar in the headline. The headline was 'Sambar outwits chow mein'. It is being criticized as the worst headline in the world.



The newspaper chose such a headline keeping in mind Gukesh's Tamil Nadu heritage. This news is being circulated on social media. Many bad comments are being received against the reporter who wrote this news.

There have been many comments, including 'Are interns being asked to write the headline of an important news story?', 'I feel disgusted,' and 'Is the headline meant to say that vada beating momos?'. Some also noted that this can never be called a creative headline..
