Known for his calm and unreadable expression during games, Gukesh had surprised fans by celebrating with a seated fist pump moments after defeating the Uzbek teenager earlier in the tournament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>That reaction quickly went viral in chess circles, especially because Sindarov is set to challenge Gukesh for the World Championship later this year. <!-- -->The growing rivalry between the two young stars has become one of the biggest talking points in world chess.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>But on Friday, Sindarov responded in the best possible way, with a dominant blitz victory. Unlike Gukesh\u2019s emotional celebration earlier in the week, the Uzbek grandmaster barely reacted after winning Round 8 of the Super Blitz section. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>However, after the win, there was no emotional celebration from the Uzbek as it was just a firm handshake. The calm response added another layer to what is rapidly becoming a fascinating psychological battle between the pair.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Watch:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Their rivalry had already intensified after Gukesh\u2019s earlier rapid victory. Playing with the black pieces in that game earlier, the Indian entered a sharp Caro-Kann Defence and gradually took complete control. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>He neutralised Sindarov\u2019s attacking ideas, collected material and converted the advantage comfortably in 52 moves.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>That victory was especially important for Gukesh after questions around his form surfaced following a surprise defeat to Poland\u2019s Radoslav Wojtaszek earlier in the tournament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Now, with one win each, the score between the two rising stars is level again heading into Saturday\u2019s final reverse-blitz clash in Warsaw. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>With pride, momentum and perhaps even early psychological advantage at stake before their World Championship showdown, the final encounter promises plenty of drama.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/chess\/after-d-gukeshs-viral-first-pump-celebration-javokhir-sindarov-gets-his-revenge-watch\/articleshow\/130969427.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D Gukesh&#8217;s viral celebration (Screengrab) NEW DELHI: 2026 World Chess Championship challenger Javokhir Sindarov finally got his revenge against D Gukesh at the Grand Chess Tour Super Rapid and Blitz event in Warsaw, defeating the reigning World Champion in their first-ever blitz meeting on Friday.The win came just two days after Gukesh had beaten Sindarov&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14429,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
