PRAGUE (CZECH REPUBLIC): (Feb 24) After an early exit from the World Cup and an underwhelming performance at the Tata Steel Masters, world champion D Gukesh would be eyeing a turnaround when he spearheads India’s challenge in the Prague International Chess festival starting here on Wednesday.
Seeded second in a young elite field, Gukesh will have his task cut out against the likes of top-seeded German Vincent Keymer and Uzbek Nodirbek Abdusattorov who are both currently performing better than him if results in the past few events are anything to go by.
Keymer, ranked fourth globally in live ratings, is just ahead of Abdusattorov while Gukesh, ranked 10th, is the highest-rated Indian.
