Truly heartwarming to see the Government of Uzbekistan honouring their Chess Olympiad winners.
Such recognition is a wonderful encouragement for athletes and a proud moment for the entire chess community👏
Uzbekistan knows how to celebrate its chess heroes! 🇺🇿
Each member of the Olympiad gold-winning team (Abdusattorov, Sindarov, Yakubboev, Vokhidov, Madaminov) receives:
💰 $200,000
🏡 A home
🚙 A Volkswagen Teramont Pro
The state honours:
- Javokhir Sindarov: the "Fidokorona xizmatlari uchun" Order
- Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Nodirbek Yakubboev and Shamsiddin Vokhidov: "Honored Athlete of the Republic of Uzbekistan"
- Mukhiddin Madaminov: "O'zbekiston iftixori" ("Pride of Uzbekistan")
The para-chess bronze team (Kimsanboev, Shayusupov, Zaynidinov, Mamarajabov, Kakishova) gets $50,000 each, plus a home and a car. All five were also awarded the "Mardlik" ("Courage") Order.
Coaches Rustam Kasimdzhanov and Samandar Shermuhammadov each get a car and the title "Honored Sports Coach of the Republic of Uzbekistan".
It's incredible to see how Uzbekistan is backing its champions!

Delighted to see @aicfchess @narangnitin supporting India's next generation of chess talent through this stipend initiative. Investing in young players today is investing in the future of Indian chess. Wishing all the beneficiaries the very best! ♟️🇮🇳 #WorldChessDay
A truly double delight for chess lovers.
Today is World Chess Day, and the All India Chess Federation (AICF) is pleased to release the another instalment of quarterly stipends, ranging from ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000, totalling ₹42,30,000, to 42 top players across the U7 to U19 categories (Open and Girls), based on their performances in the 2024 National Championships.
This is the first time in the history of Indian chess that our players and prodigies are receiving such financial support, so they do not have to give up their passion due to financial constraints. These stipends will support their coaching and travel needs, enabling them to compete globally and pursue higher goals with confidence.
This is part of AICF's ambitious plan to create a robust ecosystem for chess in India, inspired by the vision of Aadarniya Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji to empower and encourage athletes at the grassroots.
If chess is your dream, chase it. We are with you.

In today’s era of rapid technological advancement, strong anti-cheating measures are essential to protect the integrity of chess.
They may feel demanding, but ensure games are decided by skill. There have been times of doubt during games, but existing rules make it difficult to speak openly—highlighting the need for stronger systems.
These measures must be applied consistently across all FIDE events, including the FIDE World Cup and the Chess Olympiad.
I appreciate FIDE’s efforts in the Candidates and request they be standard in all major tournaments.@FIDE_chess
I’m excited to be part of this team and to compete in Hong Kong this June!
I am proud to announce that we will launch our second team for the upcoming FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Team Championship in Hongkong!
This team represents an idea that is central to our vision:
Chess United
Our goal is clear - to bring together players from different continents, generations, and backgrounds, showing that chess has the power to connect the world beyond borders.
The first confirmed players of the team are:
@vishy64theking
@GMJoseMartinez
@jordenvforeest
@Tunde_OD
@Tu_se_se
During the championship we will also highlight a cause that is very important to us:
the promotion of chess for people with disabilities.
Chess is one of the most inclusive activities in the world - a discipline where talent, determination, and strategic thinking matter more than physical limitations.
More team members will be revealed soon.
Stay tuned.

After deep reflection, I have taken the difficult decision to withdraw from the FIDE Women’s Candidates Tournament.
No event, no matter how important, can come before personal safety and well-being. Despite the assurances provided, I do not feel fully secure under the current circumstances.
This is a painful but necessary decision, and I stand by it.
My sincere respect to @WadimRosenstein and the WR Chess team for their unwavering love for the game and their thoughtful commitment to the well-being of players🙏

Dear chess friends,
I am closely following the current situation in Cyprus and understand that it is becoming increasingly critical.
With @humpy_koneru Humpy Koneru reportedly considering participation in the Candidates Tournament, it becomes even more important to ensure that all players can compete in a safe and stable environment.
In this regard, FIDE has already been informed of our readiness to support and provide an immediate solution if required.
Should it be necessary, we stand ready to act immediately. We can organize the Candidates Tournament in Germany, ensuring maximum safety and reliability for all participants and officials.
Germany offers world-class infrastructure and security - conditions essential for an event of this importance.
All organizational and logistical expenses would be fully covered by WR Chess, with our full commitment and responsibility.
Our priority is clear: to protect the players, preserve the integrity of the competition, and ensure that the tournament can take place under the best possible conditions.

I know that alone, I may not be able to change anything. But regardless of whether I play in the Candidates or not, I felt it was important to express what I genuinely feel. I’m truly grateful to everyone who has shown their support. . For those who cannot understand the sensitivity of this situation, I choose to leave it at that.

Humpy likely to pull out of Candidates in Cyprus over Iran war safety concerns
"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."
