World Rapid & Blitz Championship 2024 Preview: Arjun eyes Candidates 2026 spot in New York

The Hindu  

Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi will have to tackle obstacles to retain his chances of becoming the first Indian to enter the 2026 Candidates when he opens his campaign at the World Rapid and Blitz chess tournament. Erigaisi, who currently trails Fabiano Caruana of the United States in the list of players slated to qualify from 2024, will have a tall order to win the World Rapid Chess Championship. The participants list comprises the who’s who of the chess world and the only big name missing is D. Gukesh, who withdrew after winning an exhausting World Championship match against Ding Liren of China just a couple of weeks back in Singapore.
