Gukesh Bounces Back Above 2700!

World Champion GM Gukesh Dommaraju has bounced back strongly after drawing his second-round game against Indonesian IM Satria Duta Cahaya at the 46th FIDE Chess Olympiad 2026 in Samarkand.

In Round 3, Gukesh defeated Italian GM Sabino Brunello (2536) to score his first win of the Olympiad.

The draw in Round 2 saw Gukesh drop below the 2700 rating mark for the first time since July 2022. However, his victory over Brunello has taken him back above 2700, with his live rating now at 2702.3.

A strong comeback from the reigning World Champion!

A joint request from Efstratios and myself!

[Viswanathan Anand @vishy64theking]

Throwback Thursday!
Today, parents follow their kids on streams with engines. In my day, we sent a postcard... all the way from Finland to relay the result... Our team coach Kameswaran sent the card to inform my parents we had arrived safely! Me practicing cursive about playing GMs... It's amazing how a memory is kindled by looking at these. Finding a post box to post a card is definitely more Rizz than 😍.
What's your nostalgia?

Gukesh wants to be able to say that he has won the World Championship at the age of 18 and with his eyes closed.

Just a reminder: This young man is still only 17!!

Here was what I said in an interview with Indian media:

“I said long before the recent success of the new crop of talented young Indian players, Gukesh will go the furthest. He has the maturity beyond his years. He has the talent, motivation, fearless mentality, strong nerves, determination, and the X-factor…”

At the lower level, few things that need to be taught to young kids: 1. Sitting in chair still for more minutes without too much moving around. 2. Looking and listening to the coach when the coach is saying or explaining something 3. Looking at the board and thinking about the position instead of looking elsewhere and being distracted. 4. Develop interest in the learning procedure too while training rather than liking to play the game alone. Many children get easily bored when they are made to think over a position that is not too easy or listen to a lecture on concepts or the learning process.

[Ramesh RB @Rameshchess]

Experience with parents as a chess coach: 1. Many want their children to go to the next level in their game strength by bypassing lower groups and skipping the chess learning part. They want their children to be taught the most important thing that will make them Grand Masters immediately rather than teaching them all the boring things before that final step. 2. One parent said she does not want her daughter to be taught easier things and she must be taught the difficult things directly as she is spending a lot of money on her chess. 3. When their child is not very strong they want them to be put in the same group as stronger children and when their children become slightly stronger they do not want weaker children in their group. 4. Most parents look at coaches as a USB drive with some magical software which can be easily downloaded into the head of their child for payment of money. Children don't have to struggle and go through the learning process over a while. (It is the responsibility of the coaches to convince the children of the need to practise daily at home if they are very ambitious). 5. Their children should easily defeat lower-rated players simply because they are higher-rated. So logical and simple. When this does not happen, either change the coach or learn a new opening. 6. Their children should become champions because the parents spend more money and time on their chess. The deciding factors for success.
Conclusion: The more the parents feel they are the deciding factor in the outcome of their children's growth and success, the higher the trouble and lessen the need for the trainers. The lazier and uninterested in the learning process will be the children.
