The Story in Brief
World champion D Gukesh begins his Norway Chess campaign in Oslo on Monday, seeking to regain his form before defending his world title. He faces a strong field led by former world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen, in another test of his temperament and skill.
R Praggnanandhaa is also part of the Indian challenge as the country seeks its first Norway Chess title. The tournament is being held in Oslo, with the competition taking place against the backdrop of Norway’s fjords, the Millennium Post reports.
The Indian Opinion
The easy storyline is that India’s leading young players must immediately dominate because they are world-class talents. That sets an unfair bar. Carlsen’s presence makes the event a serious test, while Gukesh’s form will matter more than headlines about a national charge. The useful measure is simple: track their final standings and performance against the strongest opponents, not the hype before the first game.
