Gukesh playing like a champ

Thank you

[@MrGyges]

Exhausting for both players. Well done Whit£. Bad luck Black. Enjoyable for those privileged to play over this battle. Thank you as ever Mato for another pearl from your endless rope of delights.

[@fep_ptcp883]

That checkmate in the end (if Gukesh blundered due to time pressure and tiredness) would be savage

[@elcastorgrande]

Gukesh beat a strong player.
