D. Gukesh punished Switzerland’s Pawel Teclaf for an error of judgement on the 21st move and went to clinch a decisive victory in the first-round rapid tiebreaker of the chess World Cup in Sochi, Russia, on Wednesday. In the second rapid game, Gukesh easily got a draw in just 34 moves for a 1.5-0.5 triumph and set up a second-round meeting with Russia’s Daniil Dubov. Effectively, the event will come to life on Thursday when World champion Magnus Carlsen begins his campaign along with 49 others seeded players.More Related News
