D Gukesh under fire again! Chess legend Garry Kasparov: ‘You can hardly call him the strongest player in the world’

Garry Kasparov sparked debate by questioning Gukesh’s claim as the strongest world champion after his victory against Ding Liren, highlighting Magnus Carlsen’s continued dominance. Despite apologizing, Kasparov maintained that Gukesh’s title differs from those of past champions. Susan Polgar defended Gukesh, emphasizing his Candidates Tournament win and arguing against delegitimizing his title due to Carlsen’s absence.
