I am trying to make good moves: Gukesh
After the culmination of the game, Gukesh said that he had some chances to do better with the black pieces but this is what one can expect. The ace chess player from India further said that he is trying to make some good moves. With just 10 games remaining in the event, Gukesh will have a good chance of playing with white pieces in the fifth match.
D Gukesh has a bright chance to become the second Indian chess player, after the legendary Viswanathan Anand, to win the title. Anand is the only Indian to lift the title and that too five times.
