Los problemas de forma de Gukesh se profundizan en los Masters de Praga mientras Abdusattorov busca el camino al título desde fuera

El indio Gukesh D, campeón mundial de ajedrez desde 2024 a los 19 años, sigue lidiando con resultados inconsistentes que culminaron en un último puesto en los Masters de Praga. Mientras tanto, su rival Nodirbek Abdusattorov, de Uzbekistán, domina los eventos recientes pero se perderá el Torneo de Candidatos de la FIDE. El GM argentino Pablo Ricardi califica esto como un paradoxo flagrante en el ciclo del campeonato.

Desde que conquistó el título de Campeón Mundial de Ajedrez en 2024 como el más joven de la historia, Gukesh D ha luchado por mantener el impulso. En 2025 y a inicios de 2026, no ha ganado ningún torneo, con solo tres victorias en tres eventos mayores este año —incluyendo una derrota por error ante Nodirbek Abdusattorov en los Tata Steel Chess Masters y derrotas consecutivas allí—. Su forma alcanzó un punto bajo en el invitacional Masters de Praga de la semana pasada, donde empató en el último lugar en el campo de 10 jugadores, lo que le hizo caer del top 20 mundial. Las redes sociales bulleron con preocupación, un fan comentando: «El Campeón Mundial no solo perdió. Gukesh fue completamente y totalmente superado por Bluebaum. No puedo imaginar a Magnus perdiendo así.»
