D Gukesh’s remarkable performance at the supen Rapid and Blitz tournament in Zagreb left the chess world of buzzing when the 19 -year -old Grand Master rose six victories, two draws and the only loss in the fast section. However, FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky offered a measured response to excitement and reminded the fans that while Gukesh’s performance was exceptional, it automatically does not comment on the world’s best fast player. “No, the amazing performance in Zagreb does not mean that Gukesh has become the best fast player in the world overnight,” Sutovsky said on X. “But yes, it will refute some theories.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

But it was clear that they were one of the best,” he added.“Now it is very possible that Gukesh lacks the overall overall first, he did not get much in Blitz, but it will not change my opinion. He convincingly won fast with all the best boys – although some pedantic souls can insist that it was technically just a quick part of the R&B event. Gukesh ended a quick leg with a smooth victory over Wesley, so in the last round he ended up 14 points out of a possible 18. The victory followed by an impressive strip of five consecutive victories on the second day and strengthened his leadership over the highest candidates such as Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Magnus Carlsen.“Speaking more broadly: we all (including ourselves) suffer from things, often look only at a limited set of variables. This differs from the establishment of the judgment about insufficient data. The variables are almost always there, but many are easy (DS), with a focus on one, most importantly,” he explained.

When Blitz’s part of the Grand Chess Tour event emerged with 18 wheels, Gukesh’s rapid success gives him a three -point pillow. Although the best was not crowned, his performance in Zagreb certainly announced him as an impressive strength in the world of fast chess.
