World Chess Championship: Has charm of dethroning a world champion reduced?

While Magnus Carlsen’s absence from the World Chess Championship casts a shadow, the upcoming match between Ding Liren and D Gukesh still holds significance. Gukesh, like Karpov in the 1970s, has proven himself as a deserving challenger through consistent performance. The challenge now lies in restoring the championship’s allure by showcasing the intellectual brilliance of the game.
