Gukesh's Reign in Doubt? Judit Polgar Predicts Loss of World Title
•
Legendary Judit Polgar predicts D Gukesh may not retain his chess world champion title after the next match by end of 2026.
•
Polgar noted Gukesh's dip in form and lack of major wins since becoming the youngest world champion at 18 in December 2024.
•
She suggests Gukesh won his title against Ding Liren primarily due to mental strength and handling pressure, not superior play.
•
Polgar advises Gukesh to focus on psychological conditioning, take risks, and overcome the fear of making mistakes to recover.
•
The challenger for Gukesh's title will be decided at FIDE Candidates 2026 in April, with Polgar believing the winner will be the next champion.
