Nineteen-year-old Gukesh pounced on a rare mistake from Carlsen at Finansparken in Stavanger, Norway, to seal the 3-0 victory and secure his first classical victory over the five-time world champion.
When Carlsen was forced to concede, the 34-year-old slammed his hand on the table in a surprise burst of emotion before shaking Gukesh’s hand and leaving the venue quickly, skipping his media duties.
The outburst caused a stunned reaction from the commentators with Carlsen usually known for his calm demeanor.
Carlsen admitted afterwards that he was left confused by his Indian opponent’s tactics.
“I don’t completely understand what (Gukesh’s) concept is here. It seems to me that I just have excellent play,” Carlsen said afterwards.
For Gukesh, who became the youngest-ever world chess champion last year, it was a momentous victory and one which he didn’t think would come.

Coding in comparison is something with an uncertain path and goal. You "discover" the path as you go (finding optimal ways to structure code), and the goal may change over time. It is fundamentally difficult because there is almost always a better way to do it. Even if you are pro, this applies.
If I (or rather my parents) dedicated my life to chess since I was very young, I'd be a grandmaster today, or at least an international master. Not necessarily among the top, although I'd aim for it.
But in that case all I could and would do is play a game professionally. That's it - a completely unproductive life. It helps nobody. It creates nothing.
and professional chess now just consists of autistically memorizing a million 10+ move lines
