D Gukesh, after taking the top spot in the Tata Steel Masters tournament, mentioned that he didn't pay particular attention to Praggnanandhaa's game. Gukesh's statement reflects his focus on his own performance rather than closely following his compatriot's progress. This comment came after Gukesh's victory over Leon Luke Mendonca in the ninth round, which helped him secure the sole lead in the tournament. Gukesh's strategy and performance have been notable, particularly his ability to spot and capitalize on mistakes by his opponents, such as the one he identified in Max Warmerdam's game.
