Gukesh and the age of disruption

Hindustan Times  

An age of irreverence. “It must be difficult at his age, to be honest,” said Gukesh’s trainer Grzegorz Gajewski, “When you’re playing for 20 years and you lose two games in a row you can easily recall a dozen similar instances from your career. But since you don’t have the baggage of the past you’re also able to look at them as learning experiences and move on more quickly.” Much of Gukesh’s attitude and success can perhaps be attributed to his single-minded focus on chess. One of the most exciting names of recent times, Alireza Firouzja was 18 and the youngest player in the field in his first Candidates two years ago. “They’re a lot more stable.” The plan for Gukesh in the Candidates was to not go crazy, Gajewski revealed.
