FIDE World Cup: Diptayan stuns Nepomniachtchi

November 06, 2025

Hindustan Times Gurugram

Diptayan Ghosh became a GM at 17. At one point in the next decade, the now 27-year-old chose to deviate from his path of chess on to a corporate career.

- Rutvick Mehta

Two years down that road, he switched lanes again, largely out of boredom but also after watching his friends continue to make their moves on the board.

Amidst those friends and a large 206-player field at the FIDE World Cup in Goa, Ghosh produced the most standout result of the tournament thus far by taking down 12th seed Ian Nepomniachtchi in the second round on Wednesday.

Seeded 117th and rated 2573, the Indian drew with white in Game 1 on Tuesday and went better with black in Game 2, leaving the Russian, rated 2732, shaking his head as an impending defeat loomed.

Nepomniachtchi - or Nepo as he is popularly known - shares the current world blitz championship title with Magnus Carlsen, is a back-to-back Candidates winner of 2021 and 2022, and a two-time World Championship runner-up.

"This is the biggest win of my career," Ghosh told HT. "Defeating Nepo in a match is truly special, and that too in a World Cup. So, I'm quite happy with the result."

India played key role in shaping COP30 outcome

The establishment of a two-year work programme on the Paris Agreement’s Article 9.1, which mandates that developed countries provide resources to developing nations for climate action, was a significant outcome atthe 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil's Belém. Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav, who led India’s delegation at COP30, said this re-anchors the global climate finance debate in terms of the actual legal obligations of developed nations under the agreement. In an interview with HT, Yadav said he believed that COP30 has restored faith in multilateralism with developing countries seeing a structured process capable of holding developed nations accountable for the first time in years.
