Chess is just something I am interested in. 2026 FIDE Candidates Round 13: Sindarov Clinches With Round To Spare; Women's Still Wide Open
Javokhir Sindarov, age 20, is an FIDE grandmaster from Uzbekistan.
GM Javokhir Sindarov has won the 2026 FIDE Candidates Tournament with a round to spare after a draw against GM Anish Giri in round 13. More important than the €70,000 prize, he will be the next challenger to GM Gukesh Dommaraju for the world title.
€70,000 is a pretty good payday.
FIDE stands for Fédération Internationale des Échecs, or in English, The International Chess Federation. It is the governing body for chess.
Sindarov doesn't have much time to celebrate or even to rest, as in two weeks he'll play in the Grand Chess Tour's Super Rapid & Blitz Poland. Not to mention the preparation for the most important match of his life.
As I type this, there is one more day left in the tournament, thoug Sindarov has won. The remaining players are playing to determine how the purse will be distributed. The timing and the venue for the World Championship between Javokhir Sindarov and Gukesh Dommaraju has not been announced.
