Gukesh reached third place

At the moment, my primary concern is that I didn't lose the match. However, defeating Magnus in any manner is indeed remarkable. With this victory, Gukesh has climbed to the third position in the Norway Chess 2025 standings with 8.5 points, while Carlsen and American Grandmaster Fabiano Caruana share the top spot with 9.5 points.

Carlsen was furious at losing

Magnus Carlsen struggled to accept his loss to D Gukesh, hitting the table forcefully before the match concluded. This caused the chess pieces to topple over. Gukesh, taken aback, left his seat. Following this, Carlsen returned to the chessboard, replaced the pieces, and patted Gukesh on the back. Subsequently, he avoided speaking to the media and exited the venue.

Magnus Carlsen initially held a powerful position and controlled the game for a significant duration. On the other hand, Gukesh remained composed and awaited his chance. However, as time pressure mounted, Carlsen committed a major error. Gukesh, playing with the white pieces, seized this opportunity effectively. He exhibited patience in defense and executed a successful counterattack at the appropriate moment.
