The contrasting emotions of the winner and the won marked the outcome of the World Championship final. Magnus Carlsen, five times world champion, known for his surgical accuracy at the end of the game and the coldness with which he has closed matches – has been an unavoidable figure in the chess elite for years.
However, yesterday, at Stavanger, during the Norway Tournament Chess 2025, the scenario changed dramatically. On the other side of the board was Gukesh Dommaraju, the 19 -year -old Indian prodigy who currently has the title of world champion.
In a game that, at some point, seemed to be under total control of Carlsen, but eventually turned into one of the most striking moments of the year. For many, it may even be remembered as the turn of the year in the world of chess.
