Chess | 'I feel pity' - Garry Kasparov asserts Gukesh not ready for Blitz

Garry Kasparov believes Gukesh's rapid win against Magnus Carlsen had a significant psychological impact, affecting his blitz performance at the SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz tournament. Kasparov observed Gukesh's games were feeble in the blitz section, suggesting he might not be ready for the faster format. Carlsen, however, recovered strongly in the blitz after a poor rapid showing.
