Published by Webster

2 min readMay 24, 2026 08:07 AM IST German grandmaster Vincent Keymer clinched the Super Chess Classic Romania 2026 tournament with a final round victory over Jorden van Foreest on Saturday. Keymer’s win was the only decisive game of the final round at Bucharest, but it ended up being a tournament deciding result on a day where five players had a chance to win the title. R Praggnanandhaa, India’s only contender in the tournament, ended joint-fifth, along with four other players. Praggnanandhaa’s only victory in the nine rounds he played in the tournament came against world championship contender Javokhir Sindarov while the Indian prodigy had lost in the seventh round to Fabiano Caruana.

Tamizh Amudhan, 8-year-old from Sivakasi, beats World No 7 Vincent Keymer in candlelight using dying laptop | Chess News

Sivakasi, the city known for being the firecracker capital of India, jolted the chess world with an almighty bang on Friday night when Tamizh Amudhan, an eight-year-old boy from the Tamil Nadu city, took down Vincent Keymer, the 21-year-old German grandmaster currently ranked seventh in the world, in an online blitz game in the Freestyle Friday tournament. What was even more remarkable was a photo of Tamizh playing the event: the boy can be seen sitting on the floor of his Thiruthangal house (a suburb of Sivakasi), legs outstretched, laptop propped up on a pillow, and the room only lit by the feeble flicker of a candle. Due to thunderstorms in the city, the power had gone off in the area. So Tamizh played on a laptop with around 48 per cent battery powered by his mother’s cell phone’s one-GB-per-day data pack being expended via hotspot to propel the little one’s internet exploits. The laptop’s battery eventually gave way an hour into the tournament, which means Tamizh could play just four games. Sathish Arumugam, Tamizh’s …

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO Vinicius had accused Gianluca Prestianni, a member of Mourinho’s Benfica team, of racially abusing him as he celebrated a goal in Lisbon. Vinicius had walked off the pitch which led to the game being halted for 10 minutes. UEFA has since appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to investigate the incident. Reacting to the allegations, Mourinho had suggested that Vinícius had ‘incited’ Benfica’s players with his celebrations after scoring the only goal in Tuesday’s playoff match. Bayern Munich manager Kompany was incensed when asked about Mourinho’s comments in his press conference. “You have the leader of an organisation, Jose Mourinho, who attacks the character of Vinicius Jr by bringing in the type of celebration to discredit what Vinicius is doing in this moment. In terms of leadership, it’s …

Grandmaster R Praggnanandhaa scored his second victory on the trot, outwitting Vincent Keymer of Germany to join compatriot Aravindh Chithambaram at the top on three points after the end of the fourth round of the Prague Masters. Aravindh survived some initial hiccups before signing peace with Sam Shankland of the United States, while top seed Wei Yi of China finally found his form at the expense of local star David Navara. Anish Giri of Netherlands played out his fourth draw in as many games with Gurel Ediz of Turkey, while Czech GM Nguyen Thai Dai Van also drew with Quang Leim Le of Vietnam in the other two games of the 10-player round-robin tournament.

Gukesh beats Vincent Keymer, who helped him become world champion last month

Gukesh beats Vincent Keymer, who helped him become world champion last month

Published by Webster

After an almighty grind of over six hours, Gukesh defeated Vincent Keymer in the fifth round of the Tata Steel chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee on Wednesday. The win makes Gukesh the new India no 1 (and the world no 4) in the live ratings, which are updated in real-time. Keymer was part of Team Gukesh last month as the Indian became the youngest world champion in the history of chess by defeating Ding Liren. At the World Championship in Singapore, Gukesh’s strategy was to tire out his opponent Ding by extending matches as long as possible. That seemed to be the strategy employed by Keymer in the game on Wednesday against Gukesh. The German grandmaster was in an inferior position on the board from the middle game itself, with Gukesh a pawn up, but rather than resigning, he kept playing on until the 72nd move, where Gukesh’s victory was inevitable. When the resignation did come, Keymer’s clock was whittled down to mere seconds and he was pawn up but Gukesh had an additional …
