The simple life of D. Gukesh | Room Tour in Chennai

Gukesh is one of the top players in the world of chess! He is going to be playing at the Candidates tournament in a few months from now. Just 17 years of age, it is very interesting to see how this youngster lives his life. We visited his home in Chennai and we get a glimpse of his room in this video. But more importantly we get an insight into how Gukesh lives his life. We think he lives like a chess monk - simple living - practices chess, lives books, focusses on fitness and has a bed to take rest. Simple living, high thinking! Let us know if you too think the same! :)

Who has come here after Gukesh Won the Candidates ❤❤ making India proud ❤❤

[BlunderBunny]

Why are all these Indian kids so adorable? Gukesh, Pragg, Vidit, etc. It’s hard to pick one to root for. I’d like to see them all win.

i'm like 90% sure his mother made him clean his room before this

I'm nearly twice his age but I'm in awe of this young boy's genuineness, devotion and work ethic. Watching the way he lead India-B team in Olympiad has given me a lot of optimism & inspiration to look forward to things in my own life. I really hope to see this young man take the throne someday and rule the chess world!

Update: My boy won the candidates! 🎉 So proud!

I didn’t know Gukesh until the 2024 Candidates Tournament. This video has given me a deep appreciation for his great character and personality. We should admire his parents for raising such a remarkable person. Just yesterday, after his defeat to Alireza, I saw how he managed his emotions, neatly arranged the chess pieces, and then left the table. I admire him greatly. Best wishes and success to you and your lovely family.

Best thing about gukesh which nobody talks about is his authenticity. He is true to the camera and does not fake anything for the sake of audience’s approval/validation.

[sayan]

Sagar was about to welcome Gukesh in his own home. 😂

[Para-rtuk]

No wonder the Indian chess scene is flourishing, with young kids like this coming through, so pleasant, humble and grateful for who they are. Reads books about all the greats in their sports, even Carlsen. I'm sure there will be a book about Gukesh one day.

[shraddhajoshi]

He's the definition of simplicity 😌💛

[Hyperion]

Soft spoken and down to earth and seems to be a wide reader. I am rooting for this guy to be a world champion someday.

[dspecko]

I’m officially on the Gukesh fan bus now ! Boarding in NJ, USA

[StrifeGuitar]

Unbelievable that such a chess prodigy live in such a simple way, such a contrast to all the American Divas we know. Go India! Greetings from Brazil.

[Finanzfuechsle]

I love, how the success doesnt destroy its character. He is very nice and focused and must have great parents who showed him a lot of love and precious values

[pedroaugustom.b]

Love from Brazil. Congrats, Gukesh. India, celebrate your boy

[Giovani]

I am from the future. Gukesh Dommaraju won the World Championship on November 28th 2024 against Ding Liren. It was the 14th round and Gukesh won a definitive advantage with black sacrificing a bishop on g3. Apologies for the spoilers.

Who else observed that there was no tour of a wardrobe to check his cloths collections and favorite shoes. No Television
just foods for brains. Keep up the good works
