The secrets of how Gukesh performed at an Elo of 2867 at the Olympiad 2022

Gukesh was the find of the Olympiad 2022. The boy reached an Elo of 2725, becoming India no.2 and world no.24. He also won all of his 8 games at the start of the tournament scoring 8.0/8 and eventually ending with 9.0/11. Gukesh won an individual gold on board one for team India 2 and also a bronze team medal. It was definitely the tournament of his life. We speak to him about his highs of beating players like Sargissian and Caruana, lows of losing to Abdusattorov. We also speak about how he has managed to become so disciplined and how does he manage to keep such a strict routine. It's an interview that tells you a lot about this young champion.

I am always amazed at how much there is to learn from these kids. This kind of discipline and clarity is something we all aspire to, and to be able to do it and yet enjoy little moments of life is wonderful. Gukesh is already a star, and there is no doubt he'll scale higher and higher. Only love. ❤

[@rdatta]

Excellent interview. A very impressive young man and a brilliant player. I hope he's able to find the right balance in his life to allow him to go as far as possible in Chess. At his age, his insights into Shirov's probable outlook was just brilliant. Very balanced young man as a player. Wish him every success.

[@atmarambhide]

He will be world champion in few years if he is maintaining such strict levels of disciplined routine. Let him stay away from all distractions of interviews, social media and streaming stuff if its helping him be a better chess player,atleast during tournament. All the best for future

Sagar Bhai has already scheduled an interview with Gukesh post his world championship match.

[@abarajithanarunachalam8300]

Just a thought. It took a phenomenal 9/11 olympiad performance from Gukesh to get 2867 rating. Magnus current rating is 2864. Imagine the consistency needed to stay at 2860. I don't even want to talk about 2900. This really puts things in perspective about Magnus goal of 2900

[@ericzhu6620]

Well, it's been more than 40 games since the last loss of Carlsen which was from Norway Chess 2021 against Karjakin. After that he played the world championship, Tata steel masters, Norway Chess 2022 and world Chess olympiad. Also 2 games from norwegian Chess league. Imagine being unbeaten for so many games, and that's nowhere near his peak of 125 games unbeaten

[@varunsingla4718]

Also to put into perspective how great Kasparov was, when he reached his peak 2851, world rank 10th was almost 150rating points behind at 2702. Today the diff is less than 100. Imagine what kind of a score he needed to score to gain any rating points in a tournament. For Carlsen to reach 2900 he needs that kind of domination over everyone others in this neural net engine era.

[@CertifiedGenius007]

While I agree with your point about the team aspect, the day you play to draw you become washed up. Gukesh's intention to play the best moves for all positions will take him far(and was the reason he did so well here) and it also makes chess interesting. We have enough draw super gms at the elite level, the kids at this stage is their time to be fearless and push for wins against any opponent.

he is a 16-year-old kid let him grow and learn on his own no need to point out the mistakes in the comment section of a youtube video for godsake, he and the whole world already knows about his mistake no point in rubbing it on again, he probably feels much worse than any of us we were just watching but he was playing for the flag representing 1.3 billion people do you have any idea how much pressure that is for a 16 year old kid?, you are not doing anyone a favor by pointing his past mistakes out. He is a national treasure and his loss means nothing in the grand scheme of things olympiads will happen every year. India will get a chance every year but him and the rest of our prodigies are generational talents be supportive and proud of their achievements.
