D. Gukesh managed to draw with Levon Aronian in the first round of the Chennai Grandmasters chess championship at The Leela Palace hotel here on Friday.
Aronian, who played with white, said he was disappointed with the result and that he felt jetlagged during the match.
“I remembered that I had planned something but during the game I mixed up some moves. I think I decided to play the safest way at some point. My opening choice was very bad. I was playing white and I had to look for my chances.
