The Candidates Tournament 2026

This tournament highlights a fascinating clash:

• The “old guard” (Caruana, Nakamura) fighting for their last шанс
• The new generation (Sindarov, Praggnanandhaa) playing fearless, dynamic chess

You’ll discover:

• Why classical chess is a true test of nerves and endurance (5–7 hour battles!)
• How young players create winning chances in “equal” positions
• Why playing for a draw no longer works at the top level
• How risk-taking and psychological pressure decide games
