Alireza Firouzja, one of chess's most dynamic young talents, will return to the Norway Chess tournament in 2026. The French-Iranian grandmaster, known for his rapid rise in the sport, adds significant star power to the event in Oslo. Firouzja has previously competed there four times, finishing as runner-up in 2020 and 2021.
GM Vincent Keymer increased his lead to a full point in the Super Chess Classic Romania 2026 after GM Alireza Firouzja withdrew from the event. The withdrawal gave Keymer a forfeit win in round six while all other games ended in draws. Firouzja's decision came after an ankle injury that forced him to play previous games from a hotel bed.
