    Indian Grandmaster Koneru Humpy: Indian Grandmaster Koneru Humpy is still undecided about her participation in the FIDE Candidates Tournament in Cyprus, citing safety concerns amid the conflict in West Asia. A recent drone attack and regional tensions have raised fears, though FIDE says the venue is safe.

    The FIDE Candidates Tournaments, which will take place from 28 March to 16 April 2026, will determine the challengers for the World Championship and Women’s World Championship titles, currently held by D Gukesh (men) and Ju Wenjun (women).

    The FIDE Women’s Candidates Tournament is scheduled to begin on March 28 at the Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort, located on the western side of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Over fourteen rounds of classical play, the tournament will determine who advances to contest the crown in the final stage of the World Championship cycle.
