D Gukesh, the reigning world champion, is facing a lot of criticism right now, but his coach, Grzegorz Gajewski, is standing by him.

However, Gajewski says that this is the style that helped D Gukesh become the world champion.
Gajewski said, “That approach made him the world champion in the first place. He really needed to do so many things to make this world title happen. So I can’t really blame the approach. He has many weaknesses, and when he was winning the title, he had the same weaknesses as he has right now. Maybe even more. But at that time, there was so much confidence.”
With the world championship coming up, Gukesh has to defend his title against Javokhir Sindarov. The team is working hard to help him build his confidence.
