Hikaru Nakamura has shocked world champion D Gukesh when India was washed 0-5 by the United States in the first Checkmate. “This is not just rough, but it has been diagnosed with modern chess deterioration,” Kramnik wrote on X.

“I do not know who comes with these children’s actions, which is not good.

In another tweet, Kramnik said Nakamura’s signal had damaged the game. “There are players who show mature respect and behavior, many leading players (Wesley So, Gukesh himself, and more). Encouraging for years -a year players known for their horrific behavior instead -his actions, ruin our game in my opinion,” he wrote.

Although the match had many seconds of tense and players from both teams created a winning chance, the United States rose and scored some clutch victories. Playing with black pieces, the Indians suffered a rough loss and would look back with white pieces in a second foot match in India.
