The world champion of Gukesh finished last after having lost against the Grand Master of Iranian-French Alireza Firouzja in the second match of their seventh place in Freestyle Chess Grand Chelem. Gukesh concluded his forgetable campaign in the tournament at the Weissenhaus Resort without a single victory. After a lost battle that ended with a draw on the first day, the ball was in the gukesh courtyard to do the white pieces, but clearly, the world champion was short of steam to lose in 30 movements. The time test started in the middle game when Gukesh made a mistake and had to separate from his queen for two rooms. While Firouzja has made good use of its material advantage.
Meanwhile, the local favorite Vincent Keymer won the first edition despite his boiled as a recruit at the start.
The German winning the first leg about several of his imagined rivals is good news for the sponsors of the event that have started to keep chess connoisseurs in mind.
It is not a secret that Fide, the Apex chess body in the world, does not like failures 960, also known as fischer random failures, or freestyle failures. But that’s it to stay.
The favorite of the pre -tournoi, Magnus Carlsen, won his second match on the trot at the expense of Javokhir Sindarov d’Ouzbékistan – the other great find of the tournament.
Sindarov had entered after the withdrawal of Viswanathan Anandan and turned out to be more than worthy of the invitation by reaching the semi-finals.
However, with Carlsen on the song, Uzbek had no chance and was punished for the second consecutive day by the best player in the world.
Hikaru Nakamura won his mini-match 2-0 against another Uzbek Nodirbek Abdusattorov to end in fifth place.
