It's been little over four months since Gukesh D turned world champion and the 18-year-old Indian is on the hunt for a classical tournament win.

- HT Correspondent

BENGALURU:

He's had forgettable runs at two Fischer Random (Freestyle) events since and finished second at the Tata Steel Chess in Wijk Aan Zee, losing to fellow Indian R Praggnanandhaa in a thrilling tie-break.

On Wednesday, the two Indians again sat across each other in a classical face-off of the Superbet Chess Classic in Romania. Their Round 1 game went from Gukesh having chances to press for a win to the position turning complicated and eventually ending in a draw through perpetual checks after 35 moves.
