The Global Chess League: India's top young players Nihal Sarin and Raunak Sadhwani will be among the Prodigy players to be included for Season 2 of the Global Chess League, scheduled to be held from October 3-12 at Friends House in London. The Global Chess League is a joint venture between FIDE, the sport's World governing body, and Tech Mahindra.

The first-of-its-kind franchise-based league features a total of six teams consisting of six players - one Icon player, two Superstar male players, two Superstar female players, and one prodigy in each team. In the tournament, each team will play a total of 10 matches in a double round-robin format, with the winner of each match being decided in a best-of-six board scoring system.

Raunak Sadhwani, who earned the Grandmaster title at the age of 13, will be making his comeback in the second season. To further add to the excitement, World No. 54 and Grandmaster Javokhir Sindarov return to the fray along with Jonas Buhl Bjerre and Nihal Sarin. They will be joined by Daniel Dardha and Volodar Murzin for the highly anticipated second season.
