Chess legend Judit Polgar has said that she’s not sure that Gukesh will remain a world champion after this year’s world chess championship where the 19-year-old will defend his crown against a yet-to-be-determined challenger. “I’m sure Gukesh has a great future, but I’m not sure he’s going to be world champion after the next world championship match. Since Gukesh became the youngest world champion in chess history at the age of 18, he’s not won any tournament. But you know, the world is watching him not as a challenger anymore, but the world champion. But still, when the world is looking at you, how are you performing as a world champion?
