He likes Firouzja who had a disastrous tournament. Caruana was his favourite and he underestimated Gukesh. I won't be surprised if Carlsen would one day come and play Gukesh in the 2026 world championship after Gukesh took the title from Ding. Fast forwarding so much.😂😅

just respect him he is the ultimate best its just that he likes his mental health

[@user-lkml-789uu]

😂

[@swarooprajpurohit110]

that was his prediction according to how Gukesh has performed before the candidates. I think his prediction was pretty good except the anomaly that is Gukesh. If Gukesh loses tomorrow it's over for him and Naka will try his best because a draw is not enough for him. I mean it's still pretty open. If Gukesh draws and someone from Nepo vs Fabi wins, it's Gukesh vs Nepo/Fabi and he won't be the favorite there. There's a lot of pressure on the top 4. I think it's gonna be decisive. Either Gukesh loses after an astonishing run or he creates history.

[@deepthishenoy2160]

I mean it was just a prediction and it was logically too but of course gukesh just played really well!!!

[@121nahibataunga]

​@@swarooprajpurohit110Lose toh aise bol rha hai jaise gukesh free me jeetne dedega 😂. Gukesh was never someone's favourite yet hes sole leading at round 12 toh favourite kis match me kon hai rehne de

[@user-gi9bx2lc3k]

Gukesh has (I think) already posted the best result by a teenager at the Candidates Tourney level in Chess History. Bobby Fischer tied for 5-6th in the 1959 Bled - Zagreb - Belgrade Candidates Tournament w/ 12.5 - 15.5, at age 16 and 1/2. Fischer then scored 14 - 13 at the 1962 Curacao Candidates Tournament at age 19.

@@squarecutatul6834 it's a winner- takes-all tournament, so it doesn't matter what happens to other 7. He predicted hikaru and Ian to be top 2, if I remember correctly. He's not too wrong though, but he simply underestimated Indian GMs, and that's what I didn't like.
