Candidates Round 1: Praggnanandhaa pounces on Anish Giri’s blunder to start with win; Vaishali survives scare to pull off draw | Chess News

It was just about the fourth hour into the opening round of the 2026 Candidates Tournament in Cyprus. R Praggnanandhaa was hunched over the board, his focus laser-sharp, accompanied by the familiar, rhythmic but anxious foot-tapping. Then, suddenly, he flinched. He had smelled something. It was the turning point in his first-round clash against Dutchman Anish Giri, where the Indian had spotted a critical mistake by the latter on the 36th move. Pragg extended his arm to make a move, but pulled back. He took a moment to adjust his pen on the side and looked Giri dead in the eye before giving the position one final thought. He took exactly three minutes and nine seconds to calculate the consequences before playing Rook to e6. The point is that when Giri decided to move his knight from d5 to f6, he overlooked that Praggnanandhaa could attack his knight pair with white’s Rook. With a precise deflection, the Indian Grandmaster was able to force a winning passed pawn on the right flank. Fresh off a two-month …

How a boxer gave chakma to a red-hot Virat Kohli in 2016 IPL final to help Sunrisers Hyderabad pull off a heist | Cricket News

Years later, Barinder Sran could recall the biggest moment of his IPL career with a glee: The Virat Kohi wicket in the 2016 final in front of a loud Chinnaswamy Stadium crowd. “Unko chakma dene ke liye slower ball dali thi! (I bowled a slower ball to deceive him!),” he recounts, laughing. But in that precise moment, the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler could feel his nerves fray, his heart pound. His first two overs had cost 29 runs. Kohli smoked his second ball of the third over for a gorgeous six over extra cover. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were strolling at 140 for 1 in 13 overs, chasing 208. The knock was supposed to be the pinnacle of Kohli’s most prolific season (973 runs). Then, the left-arm seamer gathered his wits. A plan took birth. “We knew that Virat would step out and hit if you keep mid-off up. He stepped out to the first ball of the third over and hit over cover. That is what we planned,” Sran tells The Indian Express. He sent the …

Koneru Humpy likely to pull out

Koneru Humpy likely to pull out

Indian Grandmaster Koneru Humpy is likely to give the Women’s Candidates 2026 a miss due to the ongoing war involving the US-Israel alliance and Iran. The tournament, to be held alongside the Candidates Tournament 2026, is scheduled to take place in Cyprus from March 28 to April 16. Humpy is part of the eight-player field for the Women’s Candidates. “It just doesn’t make any sense. It’s dangerous to travel anywhere near West Asia at this point when there’s so much tension and uncertainty. The war started around a fortnight ago, it’s still ongoing and the tournament is less than two weeks away. I don’t think any official body would dare host an event in the region at this point,” the two-time world rapid champion was quoted as saying by HT. Humpy has reached out to FIDE, the world chess body, expressing concerns over the safety of holding the tournament in Cyprus. However, FIDE CEO Emil Sutovsky clarified that Cyprus is not involved in the conflict and that there are currently no plans to change the …
