D Gukesh opens up on dealing with negative comments since becoming chess world champion: ‘I will continue to do my job'

D Gukesh had made history in December when he defeated China’s Ding Liren to become the youngest world champion in chess history. D Gukesh would go on to achieve a runner-up finish and rise to No 3 in the FIDE world ratings after becoming chess world champion in December. Image: X / @lichess Life hasn’t been the same for Gukesh Dommaraju of all time, as well as only the second world champion from India after the legendary Viswanathan Anand. Gukesh, however, also ended up drawing a fair amount of flak from several members of the chess community, with five-time world champion and reigning world No 1 Magnus Carlsen openy questioning the quality of chess that was on offer in the final.
