In a stunning upset at the Norway Chess 2025 tournament, 19-year-old world champion Gukesh Dommaraju defeated Magnus Carlsen in classical play for the first time. Carlsen, dominating most of the game, blundered under time pressure with 52...Ne2+, allowing Gukesh to snatch victory. The Norwegian star slammed the table and stormed out, skipping media duties. Gukesh, unfazed, called the win “special.” The victory follows Carlsen's earlier online jab: “You come at the king, you best not miss.” Gukesh now trails Carlsen and Caruana by just half a point. Indian PM Narendra Modi hailed the triumph as “exceptional.”
