From memories to new challenges: World champ Gukesh eyes FIDE World Cup 2025 in Goa
The Daily Guardian
|October 28, 2025
World Chess Champion D Gukesh is looking forward to returning to Goa, a destination that holds special memories for him since his early playing days, as he prepares to lead the Indian contingent at the prestigious FIDE World Cup 2025.
 
 "I am really excited about the World Cup. Playing anywhere in India is great, and I have some great memories of Goa. I have played some junior events there. So, looking forward to being there," said Gukesh, who will also be the top seed in the competition, as quoted from a press release by FIDE.
The last time Gukesh played in Goa was back in 2019 and had finished 10th in the Category 'A' Goa International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament despite being seeded way below at the start of the tournament.
Returning to Goa now as the reigning world champion, Gukesh is keen to make it yet another memorable trip to the coastal state, which is described as one of the best tourist destinations in the country.
