After his breathless performance in the recently-concluded Chess Olympiad, none might grudge Gukesh a break. But his coach Vishnu Prasanna on Thursday said that he’ll play the Turkish League beginning August 15.
Gukesh has always wanted to keep playing, and Prasanna has “never stopped him.” But he adds that his ward would hereafter not be playing as much as he used to. “There won’t be enough opens for him to play. Opens would not make sense after this. So, he would be playing in leagues and whatever invites he gets in the closed events.”
