Gukesh pulled off a sensational victory, defeating hometown hero Carlsen in the classical format during the sixth round of the Norway Chess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"A moment of triumph! Congratulations @DGukesh on beating World's No.1 Magnus Carlsen in Round 6 of #NorwayChess! A incredible feat in your journey, here's for more to come,\" Dhawan posted on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Carlsen seemed to be on his way to extending his lead in Norway Chess 2025 by another three points with a second win against World Champion Gukesh. In a losing endgame, however, the 19-year-old Indian pounced on a blunder and turned the game around, winning it himself\u2014his first classical win against Carlsen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere was not much I could do. I just had to make the most of it,\u201d Gukesh said after the match. \"I was making moves that were tricky for him, and luckily he got into a time scramble. One thing I\u2019ve learned from this tournament is that time scrambles can get out of control.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Visibly frustrated Carlsen slammed the chessboard and exited the arena. Gukesh, in contrast, celebrated quietly with his coach Grzegorz Gajewski, savouring a win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about this behavior, Gukesh later said that the reaction was understandable in context and even added: \"I've also banged a lot of tables in my career!\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two had clashed earlier in the tournament\u2019s opening round, where Carlsen had edged out a win with his trademark endgame precision. This time it was Gukesh who held his nerve when it mattered most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
