Fire indere klare for FIDE Candidates 2026-turneringen

FIDE Candidates trekningsseremonien fant sted i Paphos, Kypros, og fremhevet fire indiske deltakere i den kommende turneringen. Arrangementet, som er planlagt fra 28. mars til 16. april 2026, vil velge utfordrere til D. Gukesjs herretittel i verdensmesterskapet og Ju Wenjuns dame-tittel. Indias representanter inkluderer R. Praggnanandhaa i herredelen og Divya Deshmukh, R. Vaishali og Koneru Humpy i damedelen.

FIDE Candidates-turneringen, et nøkkeltrinn mot verdensmesterskapet, starter kvalifiseringsprosessen med den nylige trekningsseremonien på Cap St. George's Hotel & Resort i Paphos, Kypros. Planlagt å kjøre fra 28. mars til 16. april 2026, har arrangementet sterk indisk representasjon. I herredelen står stormester R. Praggnanandhaa, vinner av FIDE Circuit 2025, som Indias eneste deltaker. Hans åpningsrunder inkluderer en kamp mot Anish Giri i runde én, etterfulgt av Kinas Wei Yi i runde to, verdensnummer 13 Javokhir Sindarov i runde tre og Matthias Bluebaum i runde fire. Damedelen kan skryte av tre indiske spillere. Tjue år gamle Divya Deshmukh kvalifiserte seg ved å slå tidligere verdensmester Tan Zhongyi tidligere i 2025, en seier som også ga henne hennes første stormesternorm; hun ble Indias 88. stormester i juli 2025. Stormester R. Vaishali sikret plassen sin ved å vinne FIDE Women’s Grand Swiss 2025. Veteranen Koneru Humpy, som endte på andreplass i 2024 Women's Candidates, fullfører trioen. Paringer for de indiske damene starter med Humpy mot Deshmukh i runde én, deretter Tan Zhongyi i runde to og Vaishali i runde tre. Vaishali åpner mot Bibisara Assaubayeva i runde én, etterfulgt av Deshmukh i runde to og Humpy i runde tre. Disse kampene setter scenen for intens konkurranse blant landsmennene tidlig.
