He has now expanded his amazing resume by one more accomplishment.In a time when young Indian prodigies seemingly appear every month, Gukesh's background in the sport was a little different from most others'. He was purposefully excluded from using chess engines until after achieving a career rating of over 2500. In a time when engines have drastically changed how players train for games, it was a bold decision.With that strategy, Gukesh is probably in the minority. It's a very sensible strategy. The important thing to note is that he benefited from his trainer even though he didn't utilize engines himself. That is the proper situation. After Gukesh took the lead in the open section following the 13th round, a player should concentrate on honing their playing talents, and a trainer may provide them with the greatest knowledge.
