The 2026 International Prague Chess Festival has begun in Prague, Czech Republic, featuring top grandmasters in its Masters event. Reigning World Champion GM Gukesh D headlines alongside players like GM Vincent Keymer and GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov. The tournament runs from February 24 to March 6 at the Don Giovanni Hotel.
India's Gukesh D, the 19-year-old World Chess Champion since 2024, continues to grapple with inconsistent results, culminating in a last-place finish at the Prague Masters. Meanwhile, rival Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan dominates recent events but will miss the FIDE Candidates Tournament. Argentine GM Pablo Ricardi calls this a stark paradox in the championship cycle.
