Playing with black pieces, Gukesh was sharp right from the beginning, keeping up with the Italian game opening against Vidit.
Gukesh persisted with his strategy of lining up his rook down his right flank and was duly rewarded when he broke through by move 28.
Vidit soon blundered and handed the initiative completely to Gukesh, who converted it into his third win of the tournament.
