R. Vaishali won the FIDE Candidates 2026 on 15th April. After the award-winning ceremony on 16th April in Cyprus, the whole of India, and especially Chennai, was waiting for its Champion!! When she arrived, it was a Grand Welcome at Chennai Airport!! Father Rameshbabu was also there to welcome his champion! @chessvaishali @rpraggnachess chessbase.in/news/vaishalis…

Is this chess aura? Dubov 3-0's the recent Candidates winner in nonchalant fashion!! 😆

Indian chess team wins Gold at the Olympiad- and president Modi invites them to his office, shakes everyone's hands and writes them generous checks. Meanwhile, China has absolutely NO LOVE for chess. Which is weird, because they normally celebrate any W- no matter how obscure the sport is. Like, you win something in weightlifting or swimming or jumping into the pool and you get celebrated as a Chinese SUPERHERO. But you become the first Asian Chess world champ ever? *cricketchirp* Not only that, but dude had 4000 social media followers, even after becoming world champ😭 You are a 5-time female world champion? You don't even get a fucking ticket into Fudan- you have to attend a third tier college😭 Chinese who win some random ass French baguette baking competition get more publicity and love than Chinese chess world champs...

@ZelenskyyUa @IrinaBulmaga Felicitaciones.

I met with Roman Dehtiarov, a 17‑year‑old chess player from Kharkiv. He became the first player in history to win the European Championship without holding the grandmaster title. I honored Roman with the Future of Ukraine award. We spoke about his path, training, and plans. He has been playing chess since the age of five and has already achieved major victories both in Ukraine and internationally. I congratulate him on this important victory and thank him for representing Ukraine on the international stage at such a high level. We are proud of you, Roman, and of all our people. Glory to Ukraine!

Really looking forward to returning to the Grand Chess Tour and competing against the best players in the world! See you in Warsaw!
