Gukesh challenges Carlsen again after recent criticism of championship match

D. Gukesh, the youngest world chess champion, has publicly challenged Magnus Carlsen again after his recent victory over Ding Liren. Gukesh criticized Carlsen's dismissal of his win and the classical chess format, stating it doesn't determine the best player. Carlsen had downplayed Gukesh's championship match, calling it low quality. Gukesh responded by emphasizing that it is not the fault of other players if Carlsen chooses not to compete in the World Championship. Gukesh acknowledged the criticism he received but stated it motivates him. He plans to return to competition next year, facing Viswanathan Anand, Carlsen, and Arjun Erigaisi in upcoming matches.
