 | | offramp: Thanks, chessgames.com.
This was one of the best <live games> ever. It was like Pope Frances v Pope Sebastian: two popes still alive. Today we had two World Champions head-to-head. |

 | | chancho: Gukesh may have the title, but Carlsen maintains his rep as the best player on the planet. |
|
May-27-25
 | | Open Defence: If I am not mistaken Gukesh was down to less than 15 seconds for the 46th move |
|

 | | perfidious: Carlsen was playing top-class chess when Gukesh was still being wheeled about in a pram. |

 | | Atterdag: This defeat must be hard for the young Indian to digest. Every time he faces Carlsen, it will be considered a test of the worth of his title. Statistics according to CG:
Classical games: Magnus Carlsen beat Dommaraju Gukesh 2 to 0, with 3 draws. Including rapid/exhibition games: Magnus Carlsen beat Dommaraju Gukesh 11 to 3, with 5 draws. Only rapid/exhibition games: Magnus Carlsen beat Dommaraju Gukesh 9 to 3, with 2 draws. Yes-yes, I know, Gukesh is still very young, and Carlsen had so-so results vs. certain players before he become the indisputable numero uno. Nevertheless, as <perfidious> said ... |

May-30-25 | | cehertan: How the heck do you beat a so called world champ with 2.Nc3 3.Bf4. He is so damn good. Would have been unthinkable 30 years ago. |
|
May-30-25 | | Atking: Am I the only one who finds your criticism harsh? An 18-year-old lost with Black to the player who has dominated the international chess scene for 15 years, just because under time pressure he mixed up his moves through a beautiful fight that should have ended draw! 46...Kg2+ 47. Ne2 (47. Kd3 Kg3+ 48. Kc2 Qg2+ 49. Kb3 Qb7+ 50. Kc4 Qc6+) and only now 47...Qh6+ with an easy perpetual check. |

 | | PawnSac: < Open Defence: If I am not mistaken Gukesh was down to less than 15 seconds for the 46th move > he was under 10 seconds for one move |

and there are several others:
If Kxd4 Qf4+ then..
a) Kc5 Qc7+ Kd4 Rd6+ or
b) Kd5 Qe4+ Kc5 Rc6+
c) Kd3 Re3+
There are queen traps everywhere!
Gukesh played the best move.. RESIGN
Carlsen is notorious for this..
His opponent just starts to settle in for a draw in sight, then BAM! Magnus drops the bomb. |
