Round 2 of the 2026 Superbet Chess Classic saw the first decisive results of the tournament, with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Praggnanandhaa R., and Vincent Keymer taking the lead on 1.5/2.
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave defeated Alireza Firouzja, Praggnanandhaa scored against Javokhir Sindarov, and Vincent Keymer won his game versus Bogdan-Daniel Deac to join the top of the standings after two rounds.
The remaining encounters ended in draws, as Fabiano Caruana split the point with Anish Giri, while Jorden van Foreest and Wesley So also shared the point.

MECZ STULECIA: NAJMAN vs. NIEMANN

@RojaOli Ten łysy ze zdjęcia jest głównym faworytem. Tylko źle jego nazwisko zapisali na liście startowej. Miało być Najman, a napisali Niemann. Typowa literówka.

When the war started in early 2022, I tried to help several Ukrainian families relocate to Europe (mostly to England, thanks to @TelegraphChess and Andrew Churavin).
In one case, everything was arranged for a family from Kharkiv - until their 14-year-old son, a talented chess player refused to leave at the last moment. He didn’t want to abandon his father.
He stayed in one of the most dangerous places in Ukraine. With very limited chances to travel and barely any practice, he still became Ukrainian Champion.
Now he’s grown up - and just caused the biggest sensation in the history of the European Championship!

Remember the name: Roman Dehtiarov!
Not for nothing our city Kharkiv is called “reinforced concrete!"

We are happy to introduce the beginning of a new chapter for women in chess – the WR Women’s Chess Tour!

This initiative is inspired by the 12th Women’s World Chess Champion, Alexandra Kosteniuk, and supported by the 13th Women’s World Chess Champion, Hou Yifan, two leading figures in modern chess.

A global system.
A unified calendar.
Qualification open to all.
Year-round competition.

We are building a global system that promotes women in chess. We are ready to invest, organize, and develop it sustainably.

Mark your calendars for the inaugural events of the WR Chess Women’s Tour 2026:

•Asia: June 5-8, 2026
•The Americas: June 30 -July 3, 2026
•Africa: August 20-23, 2026
•Europe: August 24-27, 2026

Followed by the Grand Final at the end of the year.

The specific locations will be announced at a later stage.

The total prize fund for the 2026 Tour is $200,000.

If a country wishes to host one of the five tournaments next year 2027, please send me a direct message. This is not a short-term project.

Nothing like this has existed in a truly global format.

We are making a change right now!

We invite top women streamers and all those who want to support women in chess to reach out and join this initiative.

The more support it receives, the stronger it becomes – for all of us.

Let’s build it together!

"Wydaliśmy wszystkie oszczędności, jakie mieliśmy. Rozkładamy ręce, bo widzimy, jak świat nam ucieka — mówią w "krzyku rozpaczy" rodzice Antka Radzimskiego, wicemistrza świata do lat 12 w szachach.
