Gukesh's Undefeated Run Ends at Tata Steel Chess After First Win
- •D Gukesh suffered a defeat against Nodirbek Abdusattorov at the Tata Steel Chess, immediately after securing his first victory of the tournament.
- •This loss ended Gukesh's undefeated streak, which began with four consecutive draws before his win against Thai Dai Van Nguyen.
- •Other Indian players, Arjun Erigaisi, Aravindh Chithambaram, and R Praggnanandhaa, all played out draws in Round 6.
- •Gukesh committed a rook blunder (36. Rg5) in his game against Nodirbek, leading to his surrender in the very next move.
- •None of the four Indian players are in the joint-lead after six rounds, with Nodirbek currently topping the 'Masters' standings.
Why It Matters: Gukesh's winning momentum was cut short by Nodirbek Abdusattorov at Tata Steel Chess.
