Former world champion Gary Kasparov has said that 19 -year -old Gukesh won against Magnus Carlson in the fast program of the ongoing supernated rapid and Blitz Chess tournament in Zagreb.“I think (on Gukesh’s results), because Gukesh played such a very fast share. I think the victory on Magnus had a great impact on Gukesh; psychologically, this is such a big victory,” said Kasprov.Kasparov said that Gukesh is not yet ready for Blitz.“I felt that Gukesh’s games were weak yesterday and today. Because it is very fast, and he is probably not ready to show his skills in Blitz. In Blitz, every village of your energy that is being ruined on something else, has a very negative effect.“Some of the games he lost today were only terrible. I understand by losing to Magnus, any game can lose. But in this game too, we did not see his tenacity.”“Something wrong with Gukesh. Yesterday was not a great day. His game was very weak. Yes, he defeated (Vesley), but his game against Giri was a sign of trouble for me,” Kasparov said.

Do you think that Gukesh can overcome your recent loss in Blitz Chess?
“Magnus is already a favorite. He is definitely cured after the rapid disaster.”He started with five necklaces in the Blitz section before pulling the sixth game, but he lost to the seventh position. Despite winning the eighth game, Gukesh eventually lost to Praggananandha.Meanwhile, Carlson scored 7.5 points to return to his nine matches. This was a really indication of things to come, because in the previous version, Norwegian won its previous nine matches, which crown the champion.Gukesh was on his prime in the Rapid section, winning six matches, which included a single one against Carlsen, but was equal to the Indian Blitz, which saw him losing six games in the early day of the fastest version of the game.
