Hours after Praggnanandhaa R. won Norway Chess 2026, sister Vaishali R. (@chessvaishali) shines in Tokyo, Japan, where she won the WR Women's Chess Tour's first event in Tokyo. This was a 8-player rapid event with a time control of 15+10.

Vaishali performed amazingly well by beating IM Irene Sukandar in the Quarter finals with a score of 1.5-0.5, she then beat former Women's World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk 1.5-0.5 and in the finals she was able to overcome IM Alua Nurman with 1.5-0.5 margin.

Tomorrow 7th of June we will have the blitz event. A huge congratulations to the World Championship Challenger. She showed her class with some top quality chess!

Norway Chess 2026: 🇮🇳 Praggnanandhaa R and 🇰🇿 Bibisara Assaubayeva win titles

♟️ Norway Chess 2026 brought together the world’s elite chess players for a super-tournament held from May 25 to June 5 in Oslo, Norway. The event proudly featured two elite tournaments running in parallel: the renowned Norway Chess and Norway Chess Women. Both competitions followed a 6-player double round-robin format with equal prize funds, highlighting a strong commitment to gender equality in chess.

⚡ A signature of Norway Chess is its distinctive scoring format. When a classical game ends in a draw, an Armageddon game determines the winner, ensuring decisive results in every round.

Norway Chess 2026 concluded in Oslo on Friday with a dramatic final round, as 🇮🇳 Praggnanandhaa R scored a decisive classical victory to claim the title.

🇰🇿 Bibisara Assaubayeva delivered a stellar performance and securing the Norway Chess Women 2026 title with a round to spare.

15-year-old Anastasia Hnatyshyn from Lviv has become the European chess champion.

She was ranked 74th out of 150, but she scored 9 points out of a possible 11 and became the fourth continental champion in the history of Ukrainian women's chess.

[Endgame AI @EndgameaiChess]

🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov on 🇰🇿 Bibisara Asaubayeva's victory at Norway Chess Women 2026:

"I think Bibisara is a very strong chess player. If some grandmasters saw how she solves certain tasks, they would immediately understand her true level."

"She was really very close to winning the Candidates Tournament. After the tournament, she was a bit upset, but I tried to motivate her because I know her true potential."

"If she continues to work seriously on chess, I'm sure she can reach a rating of around 2600."

"I'm very happy. I don't even know when she last won such a serious classical tournament. I'm very happy that she won such an important competition for her career."

"I hope she will continue to play better and better. And, of course, she will become number one in women's chess."

[chess24 @chess24com]

As well as winning the European Women's Championship, 15-year-old 🇺🇦 WFM Anastasiia Hnatyshyn has climbed an astonishing 131 places and 214.4 rating points to World no. 18 (& Women's No. 1 Under 20) — she also likely receives the WGM title automatically! https://t.co/04mCpCPnoA
