Gukesh is a smart player, don’t see any clear weakness in his game: Sindarov

OSLO: (Jun 3) D Gukesh’s prolonged form slump might be a talking point in the chess world right now but his world championship challenger Javokhir Sindarov sees no obvious weakness in the Indian’s game and is fretting over his own lack of experience for their high-intensity clash this year.

The 20-year-old Uzbek beat a stacked field of seven contenders in the Candidates Tournament earlier this year to secure a clash against reigning world champion Gukesh at a yet-to-be-decided venue later this year.

Speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Norway Chess Tournament here, Sindarov said he will begin the World Championship preparations in right earnest only next month.
