Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters 2026
Mark Crowther - Wednesday 22nd July 2026
The Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters took place Thu 16th Jul to Wed 22nd Jul 2026. Alireza Firouzja took clear first place with 4½/7 half a point clear of Dmitry Andreikin and Arjun Erigaisi, The poor form of World Champion Gukesh continues as he finished dead last on 2/7 and is in danger of falling below 2700. Gukesh continues to play wildly ambitious chess, it's still possible to believe he'll turn this around.
