๐ฎ๐ณ Adhiban B: "Gukesh is better than Sindarov at his peak"
Indian GM Adhiban B on Gukesh's recent form and his chances in the upcoming World Championship match:
"I believe Gukesh has excellent chances. The way he played at the Olympiad should help his confidence. He should not try to go back to who he was, but find a new version of himself. He has changed a lot and has to rediscover himself.
Gukesh is someone who has risen above expectations. Whatever hurdle you throw at him, he will cross it. Anish Giri and I used to joke that he was bad at rapid, then bad at blitz. Every time we thought he wasn't ready for something, he proved us wrong. Then he came to the Olympiad and destroyed everyone. The moment you think he is done, he always proves himself.
Sindarov has been in great form, but when it comes to the peaks of their chess, I feel Gukesh is better. I may be biased, but my favorite for the World title this year is Gukesh."
