| Jul-05-25 | | Rdb: Gukesh lost each of first three games.
. |
|
| Jul-05-25 | | Rdb: And gukesh lost 4th game also
. |
|
| Jul-05-25 | | fabelhaft: Carlsen scored 6 points better than Gukesh over the 9 games and have a big lead before the last day of the tournament. |
|

 | | Atterdag: Gukesh lost 7 of 9 on the first blitz day. Hopefully he recovers and plays better tomorrow. Carlsen scored 7½ of 9. He's still got it! |
|

 | | MissScarlett: The first shall be last. |
|
| Jul-05-25 | | Toxic Narcissist: I wonder if Gukesh let his win in Rapid go to his head. |
|
| Jul-06-25 | | Chessinfinite: <Toxic Narcissist>..I think you may be right..blitz chess was never Gukesh's strong point, but this is something else...he must have lost total focus after a great rapid win.. atleast he got a draw with Giri..so there is some hope for him in blitz chess.. |
|
| Jul-06-25 | | Atking: Last year ago, it has been said that Gukesh was weak on rapid "Selection of the move too much base on calculation, not enought on intuition..." This year he won clearly the rapid section. Let's him one more year to perfect the blitz section. The World Champion is indeed only 19 years old and one his quality is to learn quickly. |

| | Atterdag: Strange to see no. 1 in rapids become no. 10 and last in the blitz. One would assume the same skills would be mustered. |
|

| | MissScarlett: Someone on YT christened the world champion, <Flukesh>. |
|

 | | Dionysius1: Huh. Someone on YT should have a bit more respect. Gukesh won the championship fair and square and, given the pressures every WCC has found (is this all there is? etc), and his extreme youth, he's riding the storm remarkably well. I like he beat up the top players at Zagreb. That'll hold them off thinking he'll be a soft touch if the defence of his crown comes to rapid playoffs. From a huh to a hah!

 | | perfidious: Who cares what some random on YouTube thinks?
Those rare times I watch chess other than CG, I block the chat because it is so insipid. Even poker sites, which generally feature a higher standard of commentary, are sometimes de trop, filled as they are with 'online pros' who believe they know better than world-class players. |

| Jul-07-25 | | macer75: <MissScarlett: Someone on YT christened the world champion, <Flukesh>.> Ha! Accurate or not, that's pretty funny. |

| | MissScarlett: If the crap fits... |

Jul-07-25
| | Dionysius1: ...flush it? |
|
| Jul-08-25 | | tonsillolith: Great performance of Carlsen, going unidefeated. I enjoyed the games |
