The star of the day in the Grand Chess Tour was Gukesh, who started the day tied for first with Carlsen, Wesley So, and Jan-Krzysztof Duda, won all his games in day 2: against Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Fabiano Caruana, and Carlsen. This marked his fifth consecutive victory, giving him a two-point lead over second-placed Duda, who had 8 points. Carlsen, Wesley So, Ivan Saric, and Anish Giri followed with 6 points each.

The victory of Gukesh against Carlsen unleashed a storm of comments on social media, as previously Carlsen has stated that he does not expect much from the current World Champion in the fast paced Grand Chess Tour. Garry Kasparov went as far as saying, “Very important victory for Gukesh and a very important day. Now we can question Magnus’s domination. It is not just a second loss. It is a convincing loss.” Gukesh himself said, “Beating Magnus is always special”
