𝐔𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 players have played Candidates Chess Championship
𝐍𝐨 𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐧 has ever won till Gukesh shattered the records 👏

hashtag#DGukesh at 17 broke the record of legendary Garry Kasparov who was running 22 (in 1984) when he won the Candidates 👏

𝐑𝐞silience – Contemplating after the seventh round loss to Alirez Firouza, just before the rest day and getting fired up that he could win the championship!

𝐑𝐞frigerator – Being the Mr Cool (Master Cool!) 🆒

𝐑𝐞spect – GM Vishnu Prasanna (Gukesh’s coach) mentions that his advice to youngsters to not see the computer evaluation of a position was followed only by Gukesh who respected this input and took it as a challenge and used to analyze his positions without the computer’s help

𝐑𝐞vise opinions – Many analysts (including former world champion Magnus Carlsen) did not consider Gukesh ‘to be there’. Now, opinions and estimates are getting rewritten!

𝐑𝐞cord Making – Youngest ever to win Candidate, Second youngest GM at 12 years 7 months 17 days, the youngest to reach ELO rating of 2750, ………………………………

𝐑𝐞peat this magic Gukesh, against Ding Liren in the World Championship later this year!!!
