Indian Grandmasters Predict Easy World Championship Match Victory For D Gukesh
Grandmasters Pravin Thipsay and Abhijit Kunte believe Indian GM D Gukesh, whose game bears a "resemblance" to legendary Russian Anatoly Karpov, will win the upcoming FIDE World Championship contest by the 12th round against his Chinese opponent Liren Ding in Singapore later this month. Ding will face a stern challenge from the 18-year-old Gukesh, who "doesn't make any mistakes at all" and has had a terrific run in 2024. Gukesh became the youngest champion in the history of the Candidates Tournament and also helped India win the gold medal in the 45th Chess Olympiad.
