He's 100% right.

Yes, it was invented 1,000's of years ago but we lost our way and it took Vishy to awaken the sleeping beast.

Olympiad is the top most event for Countries. Nothing even comes close.

Russia didn't participate but even a full strength Russian team would have been 4th or 5th favorite at best.

chaturanga (orignal or primal name of chess) was invented near 6 century gupta period....so its near 1400+ years old game.

Russian Chess players are butthurt about rising Indian Chess prodigies and more or less accusing the Indian kids of cheating.

These vodka addicted degenerates probably have no clue how dedicated Indian kids can get.

Let's see some of the salty comments of the Russian ecosystem with regards to Indian chess over the last year.

  1. Nepo in one of his videos post Tata Steel Wijk aan Zee (I think with Levitov Chess) insinuated that Gukesh and Wei Yi were cheating (of course he directly didn't use the word, technically even Kramnik hasn't accused anyone of cheating till today).
  2. In C squared podcast, Nepo said that he warned the FIDE officials in January that Gukesh will win the Candidates in April, while saying that his game is nothing special. How do you predict some "nothing special" to win Candidates and "warn" FIDE about it?
  3. Kramnik accused Nihal Sarin of cheating online, earlier this year.
  4. Kramnik saw cameras throughout the event, only for him to have a problem just before the 9th round game vs India and made quite a scene about it. From FIDE arbiters to Emil Sutovsky clarified the next day that the devices were scanned, labelled and permitted into the hall as per contract.
  5. Then Kramnik brought up the population of the countries that medaled at the Olympics in a post.
  6. Dubov in a podcast with Greg Mustreader said that the Indian kids practice chess 12 hours a day and have no life, as if they personally shared it with him.
  7. Grischuk in the podcast with Greg Mustreader repeatedly stressed that a player good in one format should be good in all. Also he said that Gukesh's moves were "computer like".
  8. And here with Levitov Chess, Grischuk again insinuated things.
And no, not all of these can be disguised as humour or sarcasm or "English isn't their first language" etc.

Russian Dominance in Chess is long gone. They are not able to digest the GM coming from Non-Russian influenced nations. They don't understand the new style of plays for e.g. Gukesh focusing solely on Classical chess than blitz and rapid chess and hence few of them thinks these players are cheating.

Younger players these days are more into Mathematical aspect of the Chess and relying on brute calculations in play rather than focusing on strategic side.​

It's calculation vs intuition.

Players with better calculation do well in Classical format as there's more time while players with better intuition do well in Blitz and Rapid.

It's basic commonsense as to why Gukesh is a monster in Classical but pretty mid in other formats i.e Gukesh relies more on calculation than intuition.

Magnus himself noticed what a deep calculator Gukesh is.

Russians are projecting and butthurt.

Live: Gukesh vs Ding Liren in game 3

Can D Gukesh level up scores in game 3 with a win against Ding Liren?
www.espn.in www.espn.in

World championship started couple of days ago. Ding leads Gukesh 1.5-0.5

Gukesh lost the first game as White, but was able to draw the second game as black.

Game 3 as white today.

Have been following Gukesh for the last 2 years i.e 2022 Olympiad onwards.

That first game was easily the worst he's played in 2 years. He was a nervous wreck and was making such silly mistakes it was unbelievable.

Not easy to bounce back now as Ding is extremely capable of drawing the remaining matches even if he doesn't win anymore.

Markets still have Gukesh as the slight fav i.e 55% to Ding's 45%. I'd personally have it the other way around i.e Ding's the favorite now IMO.
