A heartbreaking 💔 news for Indian fans as 🇮🇳 GM Gukesh Dommaraju lost to GM Alireza Firouzja!

Gukesh held a good position, but was not able to find the right moves in the time scramble. #FIDECandidates

Pure devastation for Gukesh, who instead of taking the sole lead LOSES the game in time trouble!

Firouzja is a pawn down and has nine minutes to play the next 18 moves!

If Gukesh wins, the 17-year-old will take the sole lead of the #FIDECandidates !
