Gukesh Stuns Magnus Carlsen in Breathtaking Norway Chess 2025 Thriller
In a dramatic clash at the Norway Chess 2025 tournament, 19-year-old Indian Grandmaster D. Gukesh defeated former World Champion Magnus Carlsen in classical chess — a first for Gukesh in his career against the Norwegian legend.
The game saw Gukesh under pressure for much of the match, but he held firm and capitalized on a rare late-game error by Carlsen, who appeared to be in time trouble. The upset shook the chess world and signaled Gukesh’s continuing rise in the elite chess arena.
Carlsen’s reaction became a point of discussion online, with visible frustration as he left the table abruptly. Gukesh, on the other hand, remained calm and credited the win to “a bit of luck and holding on in a tough position.”
This victory marks a milestone in Gukesh’s already historic run — he recently became the youngest World Championship challenger and continues to inspire a new generation of Indian chess talent.
