Carlsen Humbled Again, Loses To "Weak Player" Gukesh | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

Indian chess sensation D Gukesh has done it again — defeating World No.1 Magnus Carlsen for the second time in months across two different formats. This time, it wasn’t a "one-off" or a fluke — it happened in rapid and blitz, a format Carlsen has long dominated. Yet despite the loss, Carlsen refuses to give credit, chalking it up to his poor play rather than acknowledging Gukesh's brilliance. In this detailed breakdown, Rupha Ramani the timeline of their rivalry, Carlsen’s dismissive remarks, and how Gukesh has responded with cold, calculated moves on the board. With reactions pouring in from across the chess world — including a bold statement from legend Garry Kasparov questioning Carlsen’s dominance — this victory might just signal a changing of the guard in world chess. Has Carlsen eaten humble pie yet? Or is he still playing defence off the board?
