Carlsen won the tournament for the seventh time After a mistake from Guksh in his match against Fabiano Caruana It costs the World Championship dearly and he slipped to the loss.
This meant that Carlsen, who drew a match against Arjun Erigaisi from an unfavorable position, won the title. When he talked to Chess24, World No. 1 was asked whether Indian talent, including Gukesh, Erigaisi and R Pragggnanandhaa, would be able to replicate his success in chess. Carlsen replied by being unlikely at the moment.
World No. 1 said that Gukesh showed during the tournament that he was on his way, but at the moment he is not far ahead.
“No one is no one at the moment. This is an honest answer. It could be, but at this moment it is not likely. Play, but it’s a lot of combat qualities.
“You shouldn’t control everything at that age. As far as others are concerned, yes, they are good, but the likelihood that one of them will become very clear number one. I don’t see it very clear at the moment,” Gukesh said.
“Each of them has clear shortcomings in their game”
Carlsen feels that older boys are better at the moment and young weapons are not ready to take over because they have very clear shortcomings in their games.
“At the moment, I still think older boys are better and are not ready to take over. Each of them has very, very clear shortcomings in their games,” Carlsen said.
