Uzbek Grandmasters

Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen has once again led Forbes' annual list of the world's top-earning chess players for 2026, based on 2025 prize money. He earned $1.37 million without pursuing the formal world championship title. Two young Uzbek players, Nodirbek Abdusattorov and Javokhir Sindarov, also broke into the top 10.
