The Daily Guardian
|June 07, 2025
He reigning World Champion Dommaraju Gukesh continues to make chess history, securing his fourth victory at the 2025 Norway Chess tournament, according to Chess.com.
In Round 9, he defeated China's formidable Wei Yi, reaching 14.5 points and narrowing the gap between himself and tournament leader Magnus Carlsen to just half a point.
Wei played the rock-solid Petroff in this game, but had the commentators fearing he'd stumbled into world championship preparation when Gukesh went for what they called the "rare move" 8.Qd3, and then shuffled the queen to c4.
Gukesh took big risks in the opening against GM Wei Yi but turned it all around again to win in style.
