File Pic: D Gukesh vs Magnus Carlsen (photo Credit: Freestyle Chess) Former World Champion Garry Kasparov said that victory against Magnus Carlsen during a quick event of the ongoing Superunited Fast and Blitz chess tournament in Zagreb had a huge psychological effect on 19 -year -old Gukesh.“I feel regret (Gukesh’s results) because Gukesh played such a very fast part. I think the victory over Magnus had a huge effect on Gukesh; it is such a big victory,” Kasparov said.Kasparov claimed that Gukesh was not yet ready for Blitz.“I thought Gukesh’s games were yesterday and today weak. Because it’s very fast and probably not ready to show your skills in Blitz. In Blitz, every gram of your energy that is unnecessary for something else has a very negative effect.“The games he lost today, some of them were just terrible. The loss of Magnus, whom I understand, can lose the game. But even in this game we haven’t seen its toughness.”“Something’s happening to Gukes. It wasn’t a great day yesterday. His games were very weak. Yes, he defeated (Wesley), but his game against Giri was a sign of problems for me,” Kasparov said.

Do you think Gukesh can recover from his recent losses in Blitz Chess?
“Magnus is already popular. He has definitely recovered from the Rapid disaster.”He started with five losses in the Blitz section before he recovered a little by drawing the sixth game, but lost the seventh. Despite winning the eighth game Gukesh eventually lost to Pragggnanandhaa.Meanwhile, Carlsen scored an incredible 7.5 points from his nine games to return forward. It was really a hint of things that come, because in the latest Norwegian edition he won the last nine games to be crowned with a champion.Gukesh was on his main condition in a quick section where he won up to six games, including one against Carlsen, but the Indian was far below the Blitz, who saw him lost six games on the start of the fastest version of the game.
