  • Gukesh perfect score at Olympiad

    GM Gukesh a member of India 2 has a perfect score 6 out of 6. When you break down his opponents - two IM's and 4 GM's its still incredible! I especially like his last two games against Shirov and lovely calculation against Sargissian.

        Yes, very impressive indeed!! But, how is it possible for GM Gukesh to have a performance rating of 3335? This would imply seven straight wins, which he does have, against opponents rated average 2935, and we know World Champion Carlsen's rating, highest in the world, is below that! This is what is listed on the chess-results.com site for GM Gukesh, after round 7. Or is the Rp referring to something else!?

          Gukesh won again - beating Caruana as India-2 beat the US 3-1 in round 8.

            I agree. It was 2935 after 7 rounds and is now 2966. Somehow 400 got added to to his average Rp instead of adding to his opponents' average rating, in error, I believe...

                Apparently there is a young lady with 8 out of 8 as well.

                  Good analysis here from GM Danny King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osl4eIt9SUM

                          GM Gukesh won the gold for his individual performance on board one. Olivia Kiolbasa won the gold for her individual performance on board 3.

                            Gukesh at 2725 and the guy is sixteen. Fischer like at 16. The Uzbekistan team is very young and they are all talented. China must be similar. Change of guard for the top nations.
                            I thought Abdusaturov had a fluke WC but that guy will also be top 10.

                              You can just see them (Uzbekistan,India and China) getting stronger and stronger.
