One of the nicest scenes on day 1 of the FIDE World Teams Rapid and Blitz 2026 was GM @AlirezaFirouzja being back on his feet! As he entered in to the playing hall it was wonderful to see him fit and having a nice smile on his face! The last few days were tough for him, but he turned the challenge into an opportunity to inspire the world! #chess #chessbaseindia #alirezafirouzja

With just 1 round to go at the 360 One Global Chess Festival, Iniyan Panneerselvam is currently leading with a full point over Boris Savchenko. Iniyan is on 7/8, while Savchenko is on 6/8. If Iniyan manages to draw the last round, he will be crowned the Champion. In Junior Masters, Madhvendra Pratap Sharma is on 7.5/8 points, keeping his 1-point lead, and a last-round draw will be enough to clinch the title. In the challengers, the tournament is still wide open, and an exciting finish is expected on the final day. chessbase.in/news/360-one-ch…
