Recently crowned WCC D Gukesh is still seeking his first victory at the Superbet Classic after a disappointing showing in the classical format. The young prodigy has managed just four draws so far and is yet to show the form that saw him become the youngest Indian Chess Champion in the nation's history.

The 14-year-old's quest for a first Superbet Classic victory continued as he secured yet another draw in the third round of the tournament, incurring his fourth draw in five games. This result follows a disappointing single loss incurred in the second round. Held in Bucharest, Romania, the Superbet Classic is a premier blitz and rapid chess tournament, featuring some of the world's best players.

Gukesh, who became the World Chess Champion after winning the Classical format title in June, has struggled to adapt to the rapid format, which is played with shorter time limits per game and thus puts a premium on quick thinking and reflexes.

Despite his difficulties in this tournament, Guhesh's performance showcases his potential and his ability to compete with the best chess players globally. We can expect the young champion to soon make his mark on the rapid chess stage shortly.
