Talking to media persons Dommaraju Gukesh said that he would lose 99 out of 100 times. But it was Just a lucky day. It was the first classical win against Magnus. He further said, “I mean, not the way I wanted it to be, but okay I’ll take it.”
Hungarian-American chess grandmaster Susan Polgar writes on X, “Carlsen outplayed Gukesh, made massive blunder to lose a winning game! This is the biggest shock of the year! Carlsen rarely loses in classical chess, and he rarely commits big blunders. He was playing so well with the black pieces in round 6 in Norway against Gukesh. He had a winning position with more time on the clock.”
“But Gukesh did not give up. He continued to fight and Carlsen’s advantage slowly disappeared. Then when both were in time pressure, he made a huge blunder which cost him the game. This has to be one of the most painful losses in his spectacular career. I am sure he is very angry with himself,” she added.
