4 min readOsloUpdated: May 24, 2026 09:39 PM IST After on-the-bed chess last week in Romania, Alireza Firouzja will be offered the option of playing chess while being seated on a wheelchair this week in Norway. There was some uncertainty about Alireza’s participation at this year’s Norway Chess — due to his ankle injury which forced him to pull out of the Super Chess Classic Romania. But on Sunday, the tournament’s organisers confirmed to The Indian Express that the 22-year-old will play at the two-week-long event starting on Monday at Oslo. Norway Chess’ social media handle posted a video of Alireza, R Praggnanandhaa, Vincent Keymer, Javokhir Sindarov and Wesley So flying together from Bucharest to Oslo on Sunday where the Frenchman can be seen being wheeled into his hotel by Norway Chess staff. The organisers are yet to work out the finer details of what tweaks they might have to make to provide Alireza a comfortable experience. For now, they have kept a wheelchair at hand in case the player needs to use it. One …

The CCF chief labelled Humpy’s withdrawal a “bad move,” saying it spreads unfounded concerns and reflects a lack of respect for both players and organisers. “As President of the Cyprus Chess Federation, I am sincerely disappointed by Koneru Humpy’s decision to withdraw, citing that Cyprus is ‘not safe’,” wrote Criton Tornaritis on X. “The 2026 Women’s Candidates Tournament is one of the largest and most important chess events in the world. This is simply wrong. Spreading unfounded concerns harms the sport and shows a lack of respect for the organizers and the players involved. At the highest level of chess, decisions should be based on calculation and facts, not fear or misinformation,” he added. As President of the Cyprus Chess Federation, I am sincerely disappointed by Koneru Humpy’s decision to withdraw, citing that …

Magnus Carlsen’s Jeans controversy at FIDE World Rapid and Blitz: The chess feud that foreshadowed world No 1’s pull-out | Chess News

Published by Webster

Magnus Carlsen pulled out of the FIDE World Rapid and Blitz tournament on Friday night after he was fined by the global governing body of the sport for wearing jeans. While Magnus Carlsen was offered the option by FIDE of changing his attire, he opted to stop playing at the year-end event, calling it a “matter of principle”. The seeds of Carlsen’s exit were sown even before the world no 1 landed in New York. As Carlsen said in an interview with the Take Take Take app after pulling out of the event in New York, “My patience with FIDE was not very big to begin with. I’m too old at this point to care too much. They can enforce their rules. That’s fine by me. My response is, I’m out, f** you. I don’t think anything more has to be said.” Explaining why his “patience was low” with FIDE, he accused the governing body of chess of threatening players who wanted to play in the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour, which is a chess …

Ishan Kishan Returns As Jharkhand Captain In Ranji Trophy After Controversial Pullout Last Season

Ishan Kishan Returns As Jharkhand Captain In Ranji Trophy After Controversial Pullout Last Season

Published by Webster

India batter Ishan Kishan on Wednesday returned to the Jharkhand Ranji team as its captain, following his controversial pullout last season that led to his exclusion from the BCCI central contract. The explosive left-hander, who became a regular in India’s white-ball squad after Rishabh Pant’s road accident in December 2022, took a break during India’s tour of South Africa last year. Post break, he did not participate in any official BCCI matches, which raised a few eyebrows as the board stressed on players prioritising domestic cricket when not on national duty. The 26-year-old resurfaced this February, playing in the privately organised DY Patil T20 Cup ahead of the IPL and sparking a debate over balance between franchise cricket and state commitments. His absence from domestic cricket during this period contributed to his omission from the BCCI’s 2023-24 central contracts. However, Kishan has since worked his way back into the BCCI’s good books with strong performances in domestic cricket, including a century for India C on his return in the Duleep Trophy last month. …
