As the congratulations for the 19-year-old D Gukesh pour in from all quarters following his stunning victory over World Number 1 Magnus Carlsen at the ongoing Norway Chess 2025 tournament, Aravind Srinivas , the Indian-origin CEO and co-founder of AI search engine Perplexity has wished the Indian chess prodigy, calling the win "Incredible."
"Incredible! Congrats @DGukesh!" he said.
Gukesh, the reigning World Chess Champion, secured his first-ever classical win against the formidable Norwegian Grandmaster in a dramatic Round 6 encounter on Sunday (June 1). What makes the victory even more remarkable is that Gukesh managed to turn the tide from a losing position, showcasing incredible resilience and strategic prowess.
Anand Mahindra 's 'greatest compliment' post for Gukesh
Anand Mahindra, who has been vocal about Gukesh's previous perfomrances, has praised also his composure.
"Carlsen’s visible frustration at the end wasn’t just a tantrum — it was the greatest compliment the World Champion could receive from the GOAT," he said.
"No fist pump. No smirk. Gukesh didn’t need one. His silence roared louder than Carlsen’s exit," Mahindra added.
The chess community has also lauded Gukesh's win as a significant moment, not just for his personal career but for Indian chess as a whole. His victory against Carlsen, who had previously dominated their classical encounters, has propelled Gukesh to third place in the Norway Chess leaderboard, just a point behind Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana.
Gukesh's coach, Grandmaster Vishnu Prasanna, praised the teenager's "stubbornness and resourcefulness," noting his ability to fight back even when seemingly lost.
