Tata Steel Chess Tournament: Uzbekistan's Grandmaster Nodirbek Yakubboev has issued an explanation regarding the refusal to shake hands with Indian GM R Vaishali during the Tata Steel Chess Tournament, saying he didn't shake hands with the Indian GM because of "religious reasons".

A video circulating on social media shows Vaishali extending her hand before the start of a fourth-round match against Yakubboev. However, Yakubboev sits down without acknowledging her gesture, leaving the Indian player visibly uncomfortable.
