Zagreb, July 9

Viswanathan Anand and D Gukesh slipped on the first day of the blitz segment in the SuperUnited rapid and blitz tournament, which is a part of the Grand Chess Tour.

Anand endured a difficult time, winning only two of the nine games. The five-time world champion’s victories came against Fabiano Caruana and his protege Gukesh.

Gukesh, on the other hand, began with a win over Richard Rapport before suffering four straight defeats. He bounced back to post wins over Constantin Lupulescu and Jan-Krzysztof Duda. However, he ended poorly by losing to Ivan Saric and Ian Nepomniachtchi.

Anand and Gukesh are in tied-sixth with 13 points.

World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen was in stunning form, winning all nine of his games to take a significant lead. He has 20 points out of a possible 27.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
