Erigaisi Beats Grandelius At TePe Sigeman To Re-enter World Top-10, Joins Five-way Lead
Indian Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi: Indian Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi returned to the world’s top 10 after registering a crucial victory over Sweden’s Nils Grandelius in the third round of the TePe Sigeman & Co 2026 chess tournament.
The win not only marked Arjun’s first triumph of the event but also lifted him into a share of the lead alongside Magnus Carlsen, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Yagiz Erdogmus and Andy Woodward, all of whom are tied on two points after three rounds.
Coming into the tournament on the back of a difficult outing at the Masters earlier this year, where he endured a dip in form, Arjun appears to have rediscovered his rhythm. He began his campaign in Malmo with solid draws against top opposition, including Carlsen, before breaking through with a convincing performance against Grandelius.
