World Chess Champion D Gukesh recently found himself at the centre of a viral social media exchange after a user told him, “Time to retire bro.” Instead of taking the comment seriously, the Indian Grandmaster responded with humour, leaving fans amused by his cheeky comeback.

The exchange became even more entertaining when the same user later appeared to ask Gukesh for a game. The sudden change in tone added another layer to the viral interaction, as chess fans enjoyed watching the World Champion turn an attempted troll into a humorous conversation.
