It does happen that some players are not in form in some tournament. Well have to see long term

[@thechuckberryfan98]

His character. That calmness. That modesty. It is so missing in the world today that Gukesh stands out greatly, and I am delighted to witness his example of personal characteristics. In short, that’s the kind of person you’d want your son to be like. Positive influence and role model.

[@20teverify]

This young boy just did something incredible. India has become a power house producing amazing talent. Congratulations!

[@uditraizada650]

Shoutout to my man Vidit Gujarati, who aced hikaru two times. Had he even drawn with him we wouldnt see gukesh here. Beating hikaru not just once but twice already makes him a champ.

Although he is only 17 years old, his behavior and character show beyond his age. He definitely has a championship personality. Both his games and his character can be a good role model for young chess players.well done.

First Vaishali & Pragg siblings created history by qualifying for the Candidates & now Gukesh as a 17 year old winning the Candidates!! Great days for Indian chess ahead & Gukesh has well & truly sealed his place among the greats. Congratulations Gukesh. So so Proud of you 👏🏻✌🏻

[@theFalcon_1]

why qualifying for candidates is making history? I don't understand why do you guys give unnecessary credit pragg in everything even after gukesh clearly jave shown he is better player than him

[@TKG_24_nevv]

@@theFalcon_1 My comment here is not about who is better. Clearly Gukesh deserves the victory the way he played the entire tournament. I am just saying when you have three young players playing the Candidates, I as an Indian am super proud of their achievements!! And very optimistic of the times ahead for Indian Chess.

[@theFalcon_1]

@@TKG_24_nevv my point is why pragg is central of attention every time?

[@sameer-up6yv]

​@@theFalcon_1 are you stupid? He ain't the central focus we just feel proud of him and GUKESH and every single players of the nation...please take your fkin toxic mindset and get out..don't make it football or cricket thing....we love every player here and they deserve praise

[@TKG_24_nevv]

@@theFalcon_1 he is not. Vaishali is in there too. If that bothers you I am sorry. As an Indian the moment is to soak in the unbelievable and unprecedented achievement of Gukesh and celebrate. It makes the celebration even more sweet because virtually none gave Gukesh a chance. A 17 year old winning the candidates and challenging the WC is mindboggling. He is the toast of the nation at the moment & i just don't want to keep myself waiting. Cheers!!

[@davidl8094]

After losing a game to Firouzja in the seventh round, he felt even more confident he could win the tournament. That's a rare kind of strength. Congratulations to Gukesh and to India from Tennessee, USA. Looking forward to the big one!

[@ClarkPotter]

Congrats from America, Gukesh! What a joy to watch you play. It's difficult to understand how you could beat these seasoned pros. Naka and Nepo were playing great the whole tournament. Fabi wasn't his best but like Carlsen, even his not so good is stellar. But you beat them all. You're like water. No style, just calm precision. It's something else, but also conspicuously not much of anything in particular. No distinct style to speak of. Just water. Excited to see what's next for you!

[@jaynath8496]

That'll be a historical match that could lure Magun in.

[@Atim_Gaming]

Its litterally impossible for magnus to come back in classical​@timetraveler_0

[@Kocur86]

Gukesh's chess game is boring, methodical and lacking panache. Magnus is in a different league, in his games you wait for moves whose strategic sense is reassuring that chess will not die to a draw. Or games such as the one from 2021 with Nepo, 136 moves long, are watched with interest. Yesterday, while watching the broadcast and commentary, I was waiting impatiently for the screen to change to the Fabi Nepo match. The World Championship match makes no sense for Carlsen, let Gukesh reach 2900 fide and then you can admire him.
