Praggnanandhaa Eyes Candidates' Berth as FIDE Grand Swiss Begins

The 11-round tournament, which carries a total prize pool of USD 625000 in the open section and USD 230000 in the women's section, will see the top two players entering the Candidates in the open and women's categories.

Praggnanandhaa is almost assured of his place in the Candidates thanks to a healthy lead that he enjoys in the performance category qualifier for 2025.

The Candidates consists of eight contestants with one player qualifying on his performance in the FIDE circuit in 2024 and 2025, two players from Grand Swiss, three players from the World Cup to be held in Goa in October-November this year and two players based on six months of highest rating average.
