Gukesh is not good at rapid, blitz chess; he's focused all his studies on classical: Carlsen dissects Indian GM's game

“You have the current classical world champion from India, Gukesh. He doesn’t play casual games at all. He just studies his ass off all the time. He’s also not good at rapid chess, not good at blitz, he’s not good at other forms. But he has made all his studies about classical chess. He didn’t even own chess software on his computer before he was like 13. And he was already a grandmaster at that time.” “The Indian guy (Gukesh), on the other hand, from the way he studies, during games, he’s meticulous, he calculates, he sees every position as a problem he has to solve, more than what does my intuition tell me? It’s like, for him, it’s more, this is possible, this is possible. Let me try and see this all the way through. So it’s just very, very different. They call it like the tortoise and the hare sometimes.”
