My performance in the last few events has been quite disappointing, not just for me, but for all of you who support me. In order to find my best form my team and I have decided that I should compete with slightly less intensity over the next few months. Consequently, we feel it is in my best interest to skip long events away from home to allow for more dedicated training time. With this in mind, I approached the Grand Chess Tour organizers and asked to play only two European Rapid & Blitz events. They were very supportive and understanding, and we agreed that I would participate in the Rapid & Blitz tournaments in Warsaw and Zagreb this year. I’m very grateful for their support. Respectfully, I am not planning to play any other events during the Grand Chess Tour schedule and will certainly be back for the full Grand Chess Tour in the future".

It has mostly been natural and I have been similar outside of Chess too but last couple of years I’m more engaging and open outside of Chess but it was never through effort everything happened on its own

@DGukesh Hello Gukesh, Recently, Anish mentioned that you have different modes that you’re one person when you’re playing a game and another when you’re, for example, attending a wedding. Is it something natural, or is it a mindset you’ve developed through practice? #AMAwithGukesh

On a normal day around 6 hours but if I have a game that day for sure its less becayse playing itself takes a few hours and I need energy for that
Amit Kamath@jestalt

@DGukesh On average, how many hours does your chess training go on for? And does this change depending on whether you have a game that day? #AMAwithGukesh

For sure there is extra pressure and I feel it too but with each change I have adapted sooner or later in my career so far and I’m sure I will do that this time too!

Training with computers has benefits and drawbacks and you learn a lot of new concepts and makes work easier but if it crosses the line it can kill some of the creativity

Sometimes I look back and feel surprised of how effortless some very tough decisions were especially some of my best games
