My performance in the last few events has been quite disappointing, not just for me, but for all of you who support me.

In order to find my best form my team and I have decided that I should compete with slightly less intensity over the next few months. Consequently, we feel it is in my best interest to skip long events away from home to allow for more dedicated training time.

With this in mind, I approached the Grand Chess Tour organizers and asked to play only two European Rapid & Blitz events. They were very supportive and understanding, and we agreed that I would participate in the Rapid & Blitz tournaments in Warsaw and Zagreb this year. I’m very grateful for their support. Respectfully, I am not planning to play any other events during the Grand Chess Tour schedule and will certainly be back for the full Grand Chess Tour in the future".

Always enjoyed the excellent hospitality in Kolkatta , fully packed house, huge fan support and extremely strong playing field that makes @tschessindia R&B event very special one!
Unfortunately i had to skip this year and will be missing the fun but sure be back for its future events and wish this year event a great success!

The #AMAwithGukesh is now closed. Lovely speaking to you all. See you all soon in Mumbai for GCL Season 3!

It has mostly been natural and I have been similar outside of Chess too but last couple of years I’m more engaging and open outside of Chess but it was never through effort everything happened on its own

On a normal day around 6 hours but if I have a game that day for sure its less becayse playing itself takes a few hours and I need energy for that
