This amount of wisdom and control at 17 is nuts.

[joannalewis]

So wise, so talented and if he wins it will be the best achievement of any young player heading towards the title

[AnSfee]

Guki has a clear insight of his strengths and weaknesses in the game. Soft spoken. Calm demeanor

[thedivineaurora]

bro for a 17year old gukesh will intimidate you to death with his look

[Mnmlprdgy]

The fact that even Vishy seems to be harder on this guy than he is on Pragg for some unknown reason must be a huge motivator for him. For example Vishy's comment that Gukesh is somehow more emotionally volatile (?) -- I couldn't imagine a more emotionally stable appearing person. He seems to be consistently underestimated by everyone including his own Vishy. Imagine seeing all these "candidates predictions" from everyone and their mom saying he was "likely to have a bad time." His soft spokenness hides a lot of steely determination. I hope he wins it all.

Gukesh is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will🧡Bhagwan bless you more🙏🧡

[michazytecki]

I didnt know much about Gukesh before Candidates, but right now I'm rooting for the man with whole my heart.

[torinkeenan]

becoming world champion at 17 would be crazy. I think whoever wins candidates will beat Ding because he’s been playing bad lately. Gukesh could surely do it

[rohith]

Gukesh always performs so well at the big events! The incredible run at the Olympiad in 2022 and now here in the candidates. Hope he wins❤

[celebrian]

The way he answered the last question 👏👏👏👏

[deadpooldeadpool]

For the future of chess Gukesh has to win this and nodirbek the next.

[punyagupta]

I love how he never mentioned that time scramble loss against Alireza stopped him from being in the sole lead <3

[badrinarayanb]

What the heck was that last question? Is that guy even sane? It's time for him to retire I believe. Kudos to Gukesh for answering the questions with so much maturity.

[thecritic]

Don't reveal too much Gukesh.... They are all.just antagonist....

[sandeepshetty]

3 players under the age of 20 in top 10 Fide rating. Abdusattorov (19), Erigaisi (20), Gukesh (17). 5 players in top 16, Praggnanandhaa (18), Firouzja (20).

[karthikkal]

Who was the bastard who asked that last question, should be shut from these briefings?

[mututeanchu]

It's an individual tournament all I care about is myself... You need that sometimes
😂😂 All the best to this lad.

[Guilgs]

Gukesh is the third youngest player of candidates tournament history. The first two ? Bobby Fischer and Magnus Carlsen...

[ParanoidBishop]

Gukesh comes across as such a mature, calm, level-headed person. His quiet, soothing voice echoes his temperament and poise on the board.

[PriyanshuKumar-zdlq]

He is too calm just like his idol MSD ❤
