World Champion Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju: A strong Indian contingent, led by World Champion Grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju, and the entire Olympiad-winning squad will once again look to assert the country’s supremacy on the world stage as they compete for the coveted FIDE World Cup 2025 crown here starting from Saturday.
The FIDE World Cup, one of the most prestigious global chess event, is being held in India after a gap of 23 years. In these two decades, Indian chess players have already made a mark on the world stage, with the country now boasting more than 85 Grandmasters–nearly eight times more than it did when the World Cup was last staged in India.
In this edition, GM Gukesh Dommaraju, GM Arjun Erigaisi and GM R Praggnanandhaa have been given the top three seedings, while every 10th chess player who has qualified for this 206-strong field will be an Indian. Dutch GM Anish Giri will be the highest-ranked foreign player at four.
