Vishy Anand Puts His Weight Behind Gukesh Ahead Of High-stake Norway Chess 2025
The Norway Chess Women: The youngest-ever world champion Gukesh Dommaraju will take on Magnus Carlsen - the world's No. 1 player in a high-stakes contest -- in the most highly-anticipated contest in the world of chess at this year's Norway Chess 2025. The tournament will take place in Stavanger from May 26 to June 6.
Addressing an event hosted by the Norway Chess and Sports Journalists Association of Mumbai (SJAM) in Mumbai, five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand put his weight behind the prodigy from Chennai.
“I expect a very exciting battle. Gukesh will not lack motivation or the determination to go after Magnus Carlsen. But Magnus is also highly motivated by the challenge of playing against our young players. I've seen him in multiple tournaments whether it's Kolkata or the World Rapid Blitz, he eagerly looks forward to these match-ups and so we have the perfect storm. I think we have the right to expect some great battles,” Anand said appearing at the event virtually.
