Cheating made bigger than it actually is: Gukesh

PRAGUE: (Feb 25) World Champion D Gukesh has categorically stated that the problems around cheating in chess are made to be bigger than its existence.

Speaking during a press conference for the Prague International festival, Gukesh said he did not support Vladimir Kramnik, a former world champion who has been infamously levelling charges against quite a few chess players suspecting cheating during online games.

“Obviously, I’m against any kind of unfair or unethical play," “It’s a kind of problem that we have been seeing lately," Gukesh said.
