Gukesh stuns Carlsen!! “Turnaround of the year.”
A painful loss for the Grand Master indeed...
Gukesh stuns Carlsen!! “Turnaround of the year.” What seemed to be an extending lead of another three points for Magnus Carlsen in Norway Chess 2025, with a second win against world champion Gukesh Dommaraju. The end-game was a game changer wherein the 19 year old turned the game around pouncing on the blunder and winning it himself.

. @DGukesh took down the World No.1 Magnus Carlsen in classical chess at the 13th Norway Chess. The game was full of excitement, but it was the time trouble that changed the course of the result in just a few moves. Gukesh himself said he was still shaking after the game. pic.twitter.com/nFbd5hyBuZ

“Whether it’s against Gukesh or somebody else here, I’m not really quite sure what to expect from those games in particular,” Carlsen told reports on Sunday.
Magnus Carlsen outplayed D. Gukesh and made no mistakes for nearly the entire game , but lost control in the time scramble.

I think here Carlsen has only calculated 55.Nxg6 and 55.h5 with a long line after gxh gxh d3 h6 d2 h7 d1Q h8Q Qg1+ Kh4 Qh1+ and Qxh8 winning for Black, assuming that this was what Gukesh has missed when allowing the sequence.

On Sunday, 2 June 2025, at the Norway Chess 2025 tournament, Gukesh achieved a historic victory, defeating Carlsen in a classical format for the first time in his career.
With this win, Gukesh jumped to third spot in the Norway Chess 2025 points table with 8.5 points, and now he is just one point behind Carlsen and American Fabiano Caruana. The last time Carlsen and Gukesh met was in the FIDE World Cup 2023 quarterfinal, where Carlsen beat his young opponent 1.5-0.5.
Gukesh was left shell-shocked after pulling off one of the biggest comeback wins of his career. Just when it seemed Carlsen was set to walk away with three points, the world champion took advantage of a massive blunder by the 34-year-old to seal his first classical win against the Norwegian.
Magnus Carlsen had D. Gukesh on the ropes for much of the match, but cracked under the pressure of a ticking clock and committed a blunder that handed India’s Gukesh a decisive advantage.

After the match, Gukesh said, “Well, there wasn’t much I could do. It was just clearly lost. So I was just trying to make moves which were kind of tricky for him. I mean, 99 out of 100 times I would have lost. Yeah, just a lucky day,”
Grand Master Fabiano Caruana beat Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura with a black draw in armageddon game.
Gukesh’s win is a “Turnaround of the year”, Caruana now shares the lead with Gukesh just a point behind. A close race between the Grand Masters now.

Is this the “Gukesh effect” setting in? The 2nd game in a row, the World Chess Champion survives a very difficult position, equalizes, and then goes on to win the game!
