Former world champion Garry Kasparov says Javokhir Sindarov appears stronger than India's D Gukesh before their World Chess Championship match. Sindarov won the Candidates tournament undefeated. Kasparov praised Sindarov's exceptional play but noted Gukesh's match experience and resilience. He suggested that if Sindarov defeats Gukesh, world number one Magnus Carlsen might return to championship contention.
