D Gukesh hit back at Magnus Carlsen in a very polite way as the newly-crowned youngest world champion stated that world championships are not won only on chess. Gukesh's comments come in after Carlsen said his World Chess Championship final against China's Ding Liren looked like a second round or third round match of an open tournament.

Magnus Carlsen, the five-time champion, said that he would not be a part of the world chess championships. The Norwegian star also praised D Gukesh for becoming the youngest world champion at the age of 18.

D Gukesh responded to Magnus Carlsen, who criticised the quality of the World Chess Championship final between the Indian and Ding Liren.
