Uzbek sensation Javokhir Sindarov is no longer just winning games but making a mockery of the Candidates Tournament 2026, taking place in Cyprus. On Saturday, the youngest player in the event crushed China’s Wei Yi in the sixth round for his fifth win. With 5.5 points from six games, he now leads his nearest rival by a full 1.5 points. And this against the best players in the world, with a World Championship shot on the line. Just months after breaking Chinese hearts in the FIDE World Cup summit clash in Goa, Sindarov did it again. And this time, with a lot more eyeballs pinned on him, he made sure no one mistook it for a fluke as his juggernaut just keeps rolling. Commentating on the match for the Chessbase India YouTube channel stream, Indian Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi watched in awe. When asked to pick a single decisive moment, Vidit, no stranger to the pressure cooker of a Candidates tournament, having featured in the previous edition in Toronto, said, “There were a few small decisions. …

‘If an artwork fails to make people feel its dissent, it is essentially lifeless’: Chinese artist and activist on the importance of confrontation | Eye News

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has long rejected the belief that art can exist in isolation. Rooted in lived experience, where the personal and the political are often inseparable, his practice over more than three decades has consistently responded to the manner in which power shapes memory and history. A leading figure of the Chinese avant-garde in the ’90s, he found himself frequently in conflict with state authority and emerged as one of its most prominent dissident voices, particularly after leaving China in 2015 and taking up temporary addresses in Berlin, Cambridge and now Montemor-o-Novo (Portugal). His first India solo at Nature Morte gallery in Delhi brings together works that reflect his long-standing inquiries into material and authority. On view, among others, is Stone Axes Painted White, which reconfigures Neolithic tools as well as a series of Lego works — a material he has used extensively since the mid-2010s — that reimagine paintings by Indian modernists SH Raza and VS Gaitonde into pixel-like grids. In an email interview ahead of his India visit, he reflects on …

Did Ex-Pakistan Coach Take A ‘Lifeless Pitches’ Dig At PCB? Internet Thinks So

Published by Webster

Former Pakistan cricket team coach Micky Arthur took to social media to express his thoughts about the pitches being used in the ongoing India vs England as well as the Australia vs West Indies series. Arthur praised the surfaces being used and commented that Test cricket can be ‘exciting’ if the pitches ‘slightly favours the bowlers’. “Test cricket gets so exciting to watch when you have pitches which slightly favours the bowlers instead of just flat lifeless ones!,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
