Watch: Carlsen bangs table as D Gukesh stuns him with Norway Chess win
World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen's bid to extend his lead at Norway Chess 2025 took an unexpected turn on Sunday, June 2, when reigning World Champion D Gukesh staged a remarkable comeback to claim his first classical win against the Norwegian legend. Gukesh found himself in a losing endgame position after a strong opening by Carlsen. But the 18-year-old Indian grandmaster capitalised on a rare blunder by Carlsen to snatch victory after 62 moves and more than four hours of tense play. The match, played in Carlsen's home country in Stavanger, saw the Norwegian pressing hard throughout, but Gukesh held firm under time pressure and ultimately turned the tables. After the loss, Carlsen, visibly devastated, slammed the table in frustration, sending pieces flying. But he quickly recollected himself, shook hands with Gukesh, patted him on the back, and left the venue quickly. Gukesh himself looked shocked after winning the match, almost as if he could not believe he had finally defeated Carlsen in classical chess. OH MY GOD ???????????? — Norway Chess (@NorwayChess) June 1, 2025 Emotions run high The result left Carlsen, who had dominated in earlier rounds, visibly shaken. Carlsen's reaction was consistent with his fiery competitive spirit — he had been known to criticise Gukesh's classical game in the past, questioning his composure under time controls. After beating Gukesh in Round 1, Carlsen even posted a cryptic message on social media: 'You come at the king, you best not miss.' For Gukesh, the win marked a sweet comeback after his earlier loss to Carlsen in the tournament opener. Meeting his long-time coach Grzegorz Gajewski after the match, Gukesh delivered what the Polish trainer called 'the hardest fist bump' he'd ever received from the Indian prodigy. 'It (win) just gives a huge pump of confidence (to Gukesh) because once you've done it, you know you can do it again. And that's the plan,' Gajewski said. 'And for the tournament (Norway Chess) that's going ahead, it gives him (Gukesh) a bump. Hopefully we can break another unbreakable margin. Perfect.' The defeat to Gukesh not only cost Carlsen valuable points but also shook up the standings. Before Round 6, Carlsen led with 9.5 points, ahead of Fabiano Caruana (8) and Hikaru Nakamura (6.5). Gukesh's win lifted him to third place, just one point behind the leader, adding extra drama to the final rounds of the prestigious event. Carlsen's earlier decision to step back from defending his world championship crown after his fifth title in 2025 had already fueled talk of a new era in classical chess. Gukesh's triumph in Stavanger adds another layer to that narrative, especially after last year's win by fellow Indian teenager R Praggnanandhaa. A memorable day for Indian chess Sunday was also a memorable day for Indian chess overall. Arjun Erigaisi defeated Chinese GM Wei Yi in their Armageddon game, while in the women's section, Koneru Humpy blundered a rook against Vaishali Rameshbabu, allowing Anna Muzychuk to catch her in the lead.

Watch: Magnus Carlsen Left Fuming After Losing To India's D Gukesh At Norway Chess
Reigning world champion D Gukesh finally got his revenge on Magnus Carlsen, defeating the No.1 player for the first time in a classical game in Round 6 of Norway Chess on Sunday. Days after Carlsen, the five-time world champion, inflicted a huge blow to Gukesh's chances in the opening round of the tournament, the world champion, who turned 19 only a few days back, struck back, catching the Norwegian by surprise just when it seemed he was on the verge of losing the game to earn three points. OH MY GOD — Norway Chess (@NorwayChess) June 1, 2025 The Indian jumped to third spot with 8.5 points and now trails the world No.1 Gukesh and American Fabiano Caruana by just one point. It was a huge comeback for Gukesh, who had looked out of sorts in the opening game against Carlsen. He seemed to be losing Sunday's game as well before he turned things around to win his maiden Classical chess contest in 62 moves and over four hours of nerve-wracking chess. While Gukesh refused to speak to the media, his Polish coach Grzegorz Gajewski said the win will give the teenager 'a huge pump' going deeper into the tournament and in future battles with the Norwegian. 'It (win) just gives a huge pump of confidence (to Gukesh) because once you've done it, you know you can do it again. And that's the plan,' said Gajewski. When asked if other players from India will suddenly feel confident about themselves beating Carlsen following Gukesh's feat, he said, It certainly does. 'And for the tournament (Norway Chess) that's going ahead, it gives him (Gukesh) a bump. Hopefully we can break another unbreakable margin. Perfect,' said the Pole.

Carmelo Anthony spilled beans on weirdest reason why Larry Brown suspended LeBron James, Allen Iverson and Amar'e Stoudemire just before Olympics
Carmelo Anthony. Image via: Jean Catuffe/ Getty Images Carmelo Anthony recently opened up about the unexpected discipline handed down by coach Larry Brown just before the 2004 Olympics. It was indeed a stunning revelation that pulls back the curtain on one of Team USA's most talked-about Olympic moments. Speaking candidly on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Anthony explained how LeBron James , Allen Iverson, and Amar'e Stoudemire were suspended over something as bizarre as showing up a little early, not late (point to be noted), to a scheduled team meeting. Carmelo Anthony revealed why Larry Brown suspended LeBron James, Allen Iverson, and Amar'e Stoudemire before the 2004 Olympics Carmelo Anthony candidly recalls the chaotic environment leading up to the 2004 Athens Olympics. The NBA icon described how things got real when, before a scrimmage against Puerto Rico in Jacksonville, three of the team's biggest names were told they wouldn't be playing. 'The minute I knew what type of environment that was going to be was when they got suspended in Florida,' Anthony said. 'Say there's a meeting at 2:00 p.m. Okay. You get there at 1:57. The meeting starts at 1:55, right? Now you get suspended.' Why Larry Brown Suspended Lebron James & Amar'e Stoudemire Despite arriving before the scheduled meeting time, the early start and razor-thin expectations created confusion. According to Anthony, this wasn't just about a timing mistake; rather, it was a power play to assert control over a team packed with big personalities and future legends. Brown, who had spent years managing the volatile but brilliant Allen Iverson in Philadelphia, appeared to have reached his limit. As Anthony explained, 'Larry don't want to deal with that [expletive] with Allen no more. He just dealt with it for six years.' So when Iverson, along with the young and rising Amar'e Stoudemire and LeBron James, were present just a few minutes before the set time, Brown chose to make an example of them. 'It wasn't a casualty of war. It was setting the tone,' Melo said. 'AI, you the guy… you leading Amari who's a young guy… you also leading LeBron James. I got to set the tone and let LeBron know that's not allowed.' For many, it seemed petty at first, but Anthony realized it was all about asserting leadership and making sure the rookies, especially LeBron, weren't influenced the wrong way. Even after the suspension, the 'Young Guns,' as the crowd eventually called them, made a mark overseas. 'We get to Turkey… the crowd is yelling Young Guns in the crowd,' Carmelo remembered proudly.
