1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Lennart Ootes, Hugh Brodie, Patricia Llanaza, Mateo Ivic, Vaclav Novy everyone else who helped with this issue.

Javokhir Sindarov is very close to qualifying to play Gukesh in a World Championship match later this year. In the Candidates Sindarov is two points clear with two rounds to go, tomorrow he has black against Anish Giri but even if he were to lose that he'd still have to lose to Wei Yi with the white pieces in the final round to even be in a playoff for the place. Whilst Sindarov has impressed everyone with his play and clarity of thought the current champion Gukesh has really gone backwards since winning the title and he had another poor performance this week. The European Individual Championships are also well under way, these are always very strong and very interesting.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) FIDE Candidates Tournament 2026

The FIDE Candidates Tournaments both open and women's events take place in the Cap St Georges resort, near Pegeia, Cyprus, Sun 29th Mar to Thu 16th Apr 2026. I would argue that this is the highlight of the entire FIDE World Championship cycle. The poor form of the current champion Gukesh has to be a major motivating factor for anyone in the open event. The event is on the periphery of the current Iran conflict and Humpy Koneru decided that she would not participate in the women's event due to the perceived danger and was at the last minute replaced by Anna Muzychuk.

Players open: Hikaru Nakamura, Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri, R Praggnanandhaa, Javokhir Sindarov, Andrey Esipenko, Matthias Bluebaum and Wei Yi.

Players: women: Tan Zhongyi, Anna Muzychuk, Bibisara Assaubayeva, Aleksandra Goryachkina, Kateryna Lagno, Deshmukh Divya, Rameshbabu Vaishali and Zhu Jiner.

The V Menorca Open took place 7th to 12th April 2026. Mishra Abhimanyu edged out Mendonca Leon Luke, Li Di and Sosa Tomas on tie-break after all scored 7½/9. There was a closed rapid tournament won by Nihal Sarin with 6/10. Gukesh finished tied for fourth, it really seems there will be no redemption for the World Champion for whom winning the title seems to have resulted in a castrophic loss of form.

22) 8th SCO Int Team 2026

The 8th SCO Int Team event in China took placxe 8th to 10th April. Ding Liren made an appearance and will play the Chinese League that starts soon. Note Correction: China won in a final tie-break match against Russia, the results on chess-results were misleading. There were a couple of drawn matches, then each won a match at a faster time control, then there was a final Armaggeddon won by China. Note I was missing some of those later games and I published them in TWIC 1643.
