Gukesh Stuns Carlsen In Norway: Teen Prodigy Scores First Classical Win Over World No. 1
Classical Win: The world watched with bated breath as 19-year-old Indian chess prodigy D. Gukesh sat across the board from the reigning giant of the game, Magnus Carlsen, in what would become a defining moment in modern chess.

Carlsen, playing with the white pieces, held the advantage for most of the game, exerting relentless pressure. But Gukesh, composed beyond his years, defended with surgical precision. As the tension escalated under the event’s increment-based time control, a late blunder by Carlsen cracked the game open—and Gukesh capitalized without hesitation.
