💨 Abstract

D Gukesh, the youngest world chess champion, started the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam tour with three draws and a loss, demonstrating his adaptation to the new format. The event, conceptualized by Magnus Carlsen and Jan Henric Buettner, could become a permanent fixture in professional chess despite a conflict with FIDE. Freestyle chess, also known as Fischer random chess, involves random piece arrangement at the game's start.
