Magnus Carlsen, the world No. 1, was handed a stinging defeat by Indian Grandmaster D Gukesh in Round 6 of the Grand Chess Tour.


The reigning world champion’s victory, his fifth consecutive win, propelled him to the sole lead in the tournament’s rapid format. The result came shortly after Carlsen openly questioned Gukesh’s potential in rapid and blitz formats, remarks that have now spectacularly backfired.

Carlsen began the game confidently, opting for the English Opening in an attempt to unsettle his younger opponent. However, a critical misstep on the 23rd move—when he pushed his b-pawn—shifted the momentum in Gukesh’s favor. Gukesh capitalized swiftly, executing a series of precise moves and opening up the position with c6, ultimately forcing Carlsen into a losing game.

In a candid post-match interview, Carlsen admitted, “I’ve played kind of poorly the whole tournament and this time I got soundly punished.” He acknowledged that Gukesh “found a lot of really, really good moves,” and credited him for making the most of his chances.

The loss visibly affected Carlsen, who confessed he wasn’t enjoying chess at the moment. “I don’t feel any flow at all… I’m constantly hesitating, and it’s just really poor right now,” he said. Despite his struggles, Carlsen will have a chance at redemption as he is set to face Gukesh in two upcoming blitz matches, where the rivalry is expected to intensify.
