FIDE World Chess Championship Match: Just a few months before he takes on reigning World Champion Ding Liren in the FIDE World Chess Championship Match in Singapore, India's Dommaraju Gukesh will go up against a quality field including compatriot Vidit Santosh Gujrathi in the SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz Croatia, the third leg in Europe of the Grand Chess Tour starting here on Wednesday.

The All-India Chess Federation (AICF) President Nitin Narang has wished both Gukesh and Vidit Gujrathi on the eve of the mega event, urging them to show their brilliance on the board.

"Wishing our chess champions, @DGukesh and @viditchess, the best of luck at the SuperUnited Rapid & Blitz in Zagreb! Show your brilliance on the board and let the world witness India's excellence!" Narang wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
