Magnus Carlsen's second victory over the current World champion D Gukesh appeared to give him a three-point advantage in norway Chess 2025. Despite being in a losing position in the endgame, the 18-year-old orchestrated a spectacular comeback by exploiting a mistake made by the World No. 1 to defeat Carlsen in his maiden traditional match.
Gukesh triumphed in such a fashion that supporters and analysts are referring to it as the "turnaround of the year." As the pieces slid off, Carlsen, who was similarly shellshocked by the victory, beat the table in rage. The video went viral on the internet, shocking fans and commentators alike. The indian GM got up, appearing stunned and perplexed, as Carlsen slapped the table and shook hands with Gukesh, who was equally surprised that he had finally won his first classical match against the Norwegian. Carlsen then gave Gukesh a back pat and left on his way back.
Gukesh, who had fallen to Carlsen in the first round, saw it as the ideal form of retaliation. With 8.5 points, Gukesh is now only one point behind Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana in third place. It was also a significant comeback for Gukesh, who didn't seem to be playing well during the first-round defeat to Carlsen. However, he reversed the trend on Sunday, defeating Carlsen in 62 moves and more than four hours.
After Gukesh's victory, his coach Grzegorz Gajewski praised the adolescent sensation for putting in a lot of effort and winning the match against Carlsen.
