The World Chess Championship is coming up soon - this is how the head-to-head score between the players looks like! Counting just over the board games, the Challenger Javokhir Sindarov leads 4.5-1.5 over reigning World Champion D Gukesh.
Sindarov leads 2.5-0.5 over Gukesh in Classical Chess - winning at 2018 Moscow Open, and at the 2022 Sharjah Masters. Their latest battle at Tata Steel Masters ended in a draw.
In Rapid Chess, it is Gukesh who has the lead with the sole win over Sindarov at Grand Chess Tour Super Rapid and Blitz in Warsaw earlier this year.
In Blitz Chess, Sindarov has a 2-0 lead over Gukesh, winning both the Blitz games against Gukesh at the GCT Super Blitz event.
A very exciting match is loading - the youngest World Championship match in the history of Chess!

Javokhir Sindarov is the Champion of Clutch Chess: Champions Showdown 2026! Sindarov played some incredible chess in the final day - beat Praggnanandhaa, Caruana and Hikaru one game each, scored 20.5 points to win the tournament, and took home a huge sum of USD 168,000.
Praggnanandhaa was in contention for the top spot till the very final game against Fabiano Caruana, where he was in a must-win situation. Praggnanandhaa went on to lose the game, finished 2nd with 19 points, and won USD 109,000.
This was Javokhir Sindarov's last Chess tournament before the World Championship match against Gukesh. We will see him next in action at Geneva on 24th November!

Praggnanandhaa played some splendid Chess on Day 2 of the Clutch Chess Champions Showdown. On a single day, he defeated Hikaru Nakamura twice, followed by a win over Fabiano Caruana - these 3 wins came in a row! Unsurprisingly, Praggnanandhaa is now the sole leader with 11 points.
Pragg started the day with a clutch win over Javokhir Sindarov where both the players were in extreme time trouble. The World Championship Challenger struck back in Game 2, scoring a smooth win over Pragg!
Praggnanandhaa was completely lost in the first game against Nakamura, but pulled off a huge turnaround and managed to win the game. The second game by Pragg was a Magnus-esque endgame conversion with the Black pieces - and with the 2nd win over Hikaru, Pragg had become the sole leader!
Pragg's 3rd win in a row came against Fabiano - besting him convincingly with the Black pieces. The last game of the day between Fabi and Pragg was a well-contested draw.
In the 3rd and final day, it will be 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. Expect huge swings in the leaderboard just like we saw today. Can Praggnanandhaa win yet another event at the Saint Louis Chess Club? Follow all the action from 10:30 PM IST on the ChessBase India YouTube channel!
