Chess | ‘Amazing performance does not mean that Gukesh became the best rapid player in the world,’: Fid CEO Emil Sutowski | Chess news

The notable performance of D. Gukesh in the Supernated Rapid and Blitz tournament in the Zagreb left the chess world, as the 19 -year -old Indian Grandmaster moved forward with the same loss in six wins, two draws and rapid sections. However, FID CEO Emil Sutowski offered a measured response to enthusiasm, reminding fans that Gukesh’s performance was extraordinary, it automatically does not crown her as the world’s best rapid player. “No, a wonderful performance in Zagreb does not mean that Gukesh became the best rapid player in the world overnight,” Sutowski said on X. “But yes, it refutes some principles. You cannot score just like a world that is coincidentally good for the world’s best – or good three days.”Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

He said, “Just when Dabov or Nodirback won the Fide World fast, it did not mean that he suddenly became the strongest. But since then it was clear, they are one of the best,” he said.“Now, it is very possible that Gukesh overall first remember, not scoring very well in Blitz, but it does not change my point. They have won fast with all the top people – even though some erudition souls could be a rapid part of the R&B event. These tournaments had very few notable scores. Gukesh finished the foot rapidly with a smooth win over Vesley, so in the final round, ended with 14 out of a possible 18 points. The victory followed an impressive streak of five consecutive wins in two days, which strengthens its lead over top contenders such as Jan-Karazzetof Duda and Magnus Carlsen.“Talking more widely: We are suffering from evaluating all (involved) things (involved), often just looking at a limited variable. It is different from creating a decision on inadequate data. Variables are almost always there, but many of them are easily (dishes), missing (dice), focusing on one, allegedly the most important,” he said.
With 18 rounds to go as the blitz part of the Grand Chess Tour event, Gukesh’s rapid success gave him three-points. While his performance in Zagreb has definitely declared him as a malignant force in the world of rapid chess.
