Vishnu Prasanna, The Coach Who Helped World Champion Gukesh Develop His Playing Style

By IANS News December 13, 2024 • 17:46 PM View: 307
National Champion Baskaran Adhiban: "Harmonious chaos", that's how chess Grandmaster Vishnu Prasanna describes the playing style of D Gukesh, the newly crowned youngest-ever World Champion. Prasanna should know that style well because, as the 18-year-old World Champion's first coach, he helped Gukesh develop it.

"He thrives in harmonious chaos. I mean, chaos looks harmonious to him compared to others. And for others it is chaos. For him, it is some kind of harmony. And he has done very well in that. He's very concrete and precise, more than most people in the world already," Prasanna told IANS a day after Gukesh reached the pinnacle of chess.

On Thursday, the 18-year-old Gukesh became the 18th World Chess Champion and the second Indian to win the title after five-time Champion Viswanathan Anand. In the 2024 World Chess Final match, played in Singapore, Gukesh defeated Ding Liren 7.5-6.5, capitalising on a huge blunder by the Chinese in a drawish position in the 14th and final game. The young Indian broke the record of Garry Kasparov, who won the title at the age of 22 in 1985.
