Asian Games 2022: Chess sensation Gukesh hopes to make India proud at Hangzhou 2023

The Hindu  

D. Gukesh was the undoubted star of last year’s Chess Olympiad in Chennai last year, and now he is excited about the Asian Games, beginning at Hangzhou later this month. Chess is making a comeback to the Asian Games after a gap of 13 years, just in time for the massively talented young Indians like Gukesh. “I am very excited about my first ever Asian Games,” he said at a media interaction here on Thursday. The camp was brilliant.” The 17-year-old didn’t have a particularly good time at the rapid section of the Tata Steel Chess India tournament, as he could finish only sixth.
