The Candidates Tournaments are the ultimate precursor to the FIDE World Championship, bringing together eight of the world’s elite chess players. They battle it out in a rigorous double round-robin system across fourteen rounds of classical chess. In today’s second-to-last round, Javokhir Sindarov is poised to claim the tournament title; a draw in his game against Anish Giri, playing with black pieces, will secure his win.
Tune in for live coverage of the games, featuring expert commentary. The broadcast begins at 14:30 CEST (8:30 ET, 18:00 IST).
