In what fans are calling the ‘Turnaround of the Year’, 19-year-old Indian chess sensation and current World Champion D. Gukesh pulled off an incredible feat — defeating five-time World Champion Magnus Carlsen in a classical game for the very first time!

In Round 6 of Norway Chess 2025, Carlsen appeared in control for most of the match. But in a shocking twist, the Norwegian legend made a rare late-game blunder — and Gukesh seized the moment with nerves of steel.

With flawless precision, Gukesh turned the game around and checkmated history.

This win is more than just a personal triumph — it also rockets him to third place in the tournament standings, just one point behind Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, the tournament’s current leaders.

From becoming the youngest World Champion ever to now taking down Carlsen in a classical match — Gukesh continues to redefine what’s possible.
