Gukesh BREAKS Magnus Carlsen’s WORLD RECORD!!!

GM Gukesh D is expected to be the youngest player to have a published rating of 2750 in history when the next FIDE rating list comes out in 11 days (when he will be 17.17 years old). This news comes just off the heels of his countryman GM Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu breaking 2700 for the first time, a day ago. The sky seems to be the limit as India’s teenage grandmasters continue to break records.

At 17 years, one month, and 21 days, Gukesh is the world number-11 on the live rating list and Indian number two. He closes in on Indian number-one GM Viswanathan Anand’s 2754 rating. Anand, 53, has been India’s highest-rated player since July 1986. (In 2016 GM Pentala Harikrishna became the Indian number-one on the live rating list, but Anand hasn’t been surpassed in published rating for 37 years.)

GM Magnus Carlsen was the previous record-holder for youngest 2750, and GM Alireza Firouzja also made it at 17 years old. Firouzja is the youngest to break 2800 at the age of 18 and five months, the 14th player in history to do so.

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.
