Russian chess idol Garry Kasparov’s record is a record improved by D Gukesh for the world’s youngest world champion, who believes the Indians are in a “different situation” and all indicators are considered “all indicators” compared to Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, which is better than the Chennai teenagers.

Gukesh defeated Chinese dominant world champion Ding Liren in 14 games, who beat last year’s coveted champion in 14 games. Kasparov beat his compatriot Anatoly Karpov when he won the world championship in 1985, when he was 22 years old.

“This is an amazing achievement [Gukesh’ world championship win]. But I beat the most powerful player in the world. Gukesh is in a different situation because Magnus is there. ”

Kasparov told St. Louis Chess Club in Superbet Chess Classic in Bucharest, Romania, Kasparov told St. Louis Chess Club’s YouTube channel.

This is not the first time Gukesh and Carlsen have compared.

FIDE made it clear that this would not allow this tour to be held in the World Championships, as it would be just its territory.

Kasparov praised India’s current chess players, including Gukesh, and described it as “Vishy’s child”, an ode to his contemporary and five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand.

“he [Gukesh] There is enough space and enough time to improve. I’m sure the challenge he’s dealing with. ” Kasparov said.

The Russian great man believes that Liren, 32, who struggled with psychological problems after the pandemic on the 19th, did not perform well at a large event in Singapore and even stopped for a while.

“He’s at his best against Magnus…that would be a game! But then, Colved ruined him. Covid was just a different player, still very tenacious, with a lot of resilience.

“Gukesh won the candidate’s title. Everything could happen in the World Championship because it was a long game. But Gukesh was always ahead.
