Form doesn't matter in World Championship: Vachier-Lagrave

French Grandmaster Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who peaked at 2819 Elo rating and won the World Blitz championship in 2021, believes form is irrelevant in World Championship matches. Speaking from Bengaluru for the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League, Vachier-Lagrave suggests Gukesh's recent struggles don't define his World Championship prospects against Sindarov.

The form doesn't really matter when it comes to the World championship match.
