D Gukesh’s Chief Trainer Compares Him to Magnus Carlsen in Bold Statement

Indian chess prodigy D Gukesh has made history by becoming the youngest-ever world chess champion at just 18 years old. His remarkable win against defending champion Ding Liren in Singapore has sent shockwaves through the chess world, with many comparing him to the legendary Magnus Carlsen.

Gukesh’s chief trainer, Grzegorz Gajewski, recently made a bold statement by comparing the young grandmaster to Carlsen. While acknowledging Gukesh’s talent and ability to mimic Carlsen’s playing style, Gajewski also emphasized that Gukesh has his own unique approach to the game.

“He will never be a player like Magnus Carlsen in the sense of being an intuitive kind of a player,” Gajewski said. “He likes to calculate and he likes to go deep into position. He doesn’t like to make moves just purely based on intuition. He will never play in the Magnus style, but he can very well mimic it.”

Gajewski went on to praise Gukesh’s exceptional calculation skills, comparing him to chess legends like Viswanathan Anand and Fabiano Caruana. He highlighted Gukesh’s dedication to the game and his ability to analyze positions deeply, much like Anand and Caruana.

As a former second to Anand in the World Chess Championship and a respected figure in the chess world, Gajewski’s comparison of Gukesh to Carlsen has sparked a debate among fans and players alike. While some have hailed Gukesh as the next big thing in chess, others, including Carlsen himself, have downplayed his achievements.

Regardless of the controversy, Gukesh’s win has solidified his place in chess history, and his future in the game looks brighter than ever. With the guidance of Gajewski and his own determination, Gukesh is poised to make a lasting impact on the world of chess for years to come.
