Chennai Grand Masters: Alireza Firouzja wins title as world champion Gukesh suffers shock last-place finish | Chess News
NEW DELHI: French Grandmaster Alireza Firouzja was crowned champion of the fourth edition of the Chennai Grand Masters after holding Indian GM Arjun Erigaisi to a draw in the final round on Wednesday, while world champion D Gukesh endured a disappointing campaign, finishing last in the elite tournament.Firouzja finished the competition with 4.5 points after scoring two victories and five draws across seven rounds. The Frenchman, who began the event with back-to-back wins, maintained his consistency throughout the round-robin tournament to claim the title and take home the winner’s prize of Rs 25 lakh.
Firouzja holds nerve to clinch title
Heading into the final round, Firouzja held a crucial half-point advantage over closest challengers Erigaisi and Uzbekistan’s Nodirbek Abdusattorov.While Firouzja only needed a draw against Erigaisi to secure the championship, Abdusattorov needed a victory with the black pieces against Dmitry Andreikin to keep his title hopes alive.However, Abdusattorov’s ambitious approach backfired as he went down against Andreikin in 37 moves. That result meant Firouzja’s draw with Erigaisi was enough to seal the crown.Playing with the white pieces, Erigaisi attempted to create winning chances, but Firouzja handled the pressure confidently. The two players eventually agreed to a draw after 41 moves in a rook-and-pawn endgame, with the Indian Grandmaster unable to find a realistic path to victory.The Chennai Grand Masters featured eight Grandmasters competing in a round-robin format, with a total prize purse of Rs 75 lakh and valuable FIDE Circuit points at stake.
Gukesh’s difficult run continues
While Firouzja celebrated a memorable triumph, it was a tournament to forget for India’s reigning world champion D Gukesh.The Chennai youngster struggled to find his rhythm throughout the event, losing three of his seven games and finishing at the bottom of the standings with just two points.Gukesh managed to avoid another defeat in the final round, drawing against Hans Niemann, but it was not enough to lift him from eighth place in the final standings.The result marked a rare low point for the 20-year-old, who has enjoyed a historic rise over the past year after becoming the youngest world chess champion.
Andreikin finishes unbeaten, Erigaisi among runners-up
Andreikin ended the tournament as the only unbeaten player apart from Firouzja, finishing with four points after defeating Abdusattorov in the final round.Erigaisi also ended with four points, while Abdusattorov, Nihal Sarin and M Pranesh shared fourth place with 3.5 points.The final-round results saw Gukesh draw with Niemann, Nihal Sarin draw with Pranesh, Firouzja draw with Erigaisi, and Andreikin defeat Abdusattorov.
When championship conditions turn baked-out and firm, the knee-jerk reaction among amateur players is to instantly strip bounce off every wedge in the bag. And YES, it did happen a bit last week at Royal Birkdale with players getting low bounce wedge grinds built up “just in case”.
The logic seems sound on paper: tighter lies demand a lower leading edge to prevent the sole from skidding into the middle of the golf ball. On Tour, however, the response from the trucks is far more personal. While firm fairways and tight turf do trigger an influx of low-bounce wedge options across the field, a player’s delivery geometry, swing path, and wrist release play a far larger role in grind selection than ground hardness alone.
A wedge grind never functions in isolation. Static bounce stamped on the sole only represents how the club rests on a flat surface; dynamic bounce is determined by how the player introduces the clubhead to the turf at impact. A steep attack angle with forward shaft lean converts a high-bounce wedge into a digging instrument, whereas a shallow delivery with shaft handle elevation can make even a mid-bounce sole prone to skipping if not fitted to the player’s specific lie angle requirements. Examining the wedge setups of Ryan Fox, Shane Lowry, and Nico Echavarria demonstrates how three distinctly different physical deliveries dictate three entirely different equipment solutions when playing on firm Tour conditions.
Theres a TON to learn here.

Ryan Fox wedge specs:
- 50° MID Grind: True Temper Dynamic Gold X100, 63° Lie Angle, Standard Length
- 56° MID Grind: True Temper Dynamic Gold S400, 63.5° Lie Angle, Standard Length
- 60° MID Grind: True Temper Dynamic Gold S400, 63.5° Lie Angle, Standard Length
Ryan Fox represents a category of ball-striker that defies standard conventional wisdom on baked-out courses. Fox is a heavy-striking player who drives the clubhead down hard into the turf through impact. Rather than sweeping the ball clean, he compresses it with substantial forward shaft lean and a steep angle of attack, taking distinct divots regardless of how firm the sub-base happens to be.
For a player with Fox’s delivery profile, dropping to low-bounce grinds under hard conditions creates a catastrophic scenario. When a steep attack angle is paired with a sharp leading edge and minimal sole geometry, the clubhead drives directly into the soil without resistance, leading to heavy contact and inconsistent distance control. By staying in Mid-Bounce profiles across his entire 50°, 56°, and 60° wedge setup, Fox maintains necessary ground clearance. The sole bounce acts as a safety valve, allowing the clubhead to pass down through the ball, compress it against the tight turf, and exit cleanly on the target line without stalling in the ground.
Furthermore, Fox frequently uses his lob wedge to play low, flighted shots off his back foot. Moving the ball back in the stance increases dynamic shaft lean, which effectively subtracts bounce from the club head at impact. Because Fox manipulates his delivery to deloft and drive the ball flat, the static Mid-Bounce is required simply to keep the leading edge elevated enough to prevent digging. His shaft build also reflects this mechanical split: a stiffer Dynamic Gold X100 in the 50° to match his iron transition and tight distance dispersion, followed by Dynamic Gold S400 shafts in the 56° and 60° to provide slightly softer tip feel and controlled spin on partial greenside shots.
Shane Lowry: Upright angles, dynamic touch, and sole transition
Shane Lowry wedge specs:
- 50° MID Grind (bent to 51°): KBS Tour X, +.25″ Length, 2.5° Upright
- 56° MID Grind (bent to 57°): KBS Tour X, +.25″ Length, 2.5° Upright
- 60° LOW Grind (bent to 61°): KBS Tour X, +.25″ Length, 2.5° Upright
Shane Lowry possesses one of the most distinctive wedge setups on Tour, defined by upright lie angles and precise loft tweaks. Standing at a relatively standard height, Lowry’s lie angle configuration of 2.5 degrees upright across all three wedges is noticeably upright compared to tour averages. This spec stems from both a visual preference at address and a structural delivery mechanics issue where Lowry stands the shaft up during his backswing and delivers the clubhead with a toe-down, upright orientation.
Lowry’s lofts are each adjusted 1-degree weak (50° to 51°, 56° to 57°, and 60° to 61°). Bending a wedge weak increases static bounce by 1 degree while adding subtle offset and altering the leading-edge appearance. On his gap and sand wedges, this modification maintains controlled full-swing gapping and enhances spin rates out of rough and fairway lies alike.
All-new RTZ Wedges are made with Z-Alloy, a completely new steel formula that enables a zero-compromise design approach for incredible feel, better durability, and more consistency for our best performing tour Wedges yet. Plus, there’s an all-new ADAPT grind featuring full-face grooves, to give RTZ Wedges more versatility than ever before.
Z-Alloy
Z-Alloy is a brand-new steel with better feel. It’s softer, lighter, and remarkably durable. It gives RTZ Wedges superior feel, better forgiveness, and more consistency. On RTZ Tour Rack Wedges, Z-Alloy’s rust-resistant properties ensure longer-lasting, like-new performance.
HydraZip
HydraZip is a unique system of face blasts and laser-milled lines formulated to maximize spin performance under wet conditions. This technology is dynamically configured by loft groupings, which helps balance spin across lofts, while maximizing spin in adverse conditions.
ZipCore
This low-density core technology replaces heavier material in the heel and hosel area with a lightweight, low-density, vibration-dampening material. This proprietary core allows us to shift the Center of Gravity closer to where you strike the ball, while simultaneously adding MOI.
UltiZip
UltiZip’s sharper grooves cut through grass and debris at contact, while deeper grooves help make space for grass, sand, dirt, or water to clear the impact zone, giving RTZ Wedges stronger, more consistent spin from the fairway, rough, or bunker.

Earlier in the season, Lowry transitioned away from a Full Face lob wedge profile into a 60° Low Bounce grind (bent to 61°). Lowry is an elite short-game artist who relies heavily on wrist manipulation, face opening, and shallow turf skimming around the greens. Because Lowry naturally adds dynamic bounce through impact by releasing his hands and laying the face open, a wedge with wide sole geometry or high static bounce becomes a liability on hard surfaces. Excessive bounce causes the trailing edge to strike the hard ground first, causing the leading edge to skip upward into the middle of the ball. The Low Bounce grind allows the leading edge to stay close to the dirt when the face is opened, trusting his hands to supply the necessary bounce dynamically at strike.
It just adds to what will be an especially special Games for Marshall, who is joined in the bowls team by his niece Beth Riva.
“It’s a bit nerve-wracking really,” 59-year-old Marshall told BBC Scotland. “It’s not very often I get a bit emotional, but I certainly had a tear in my eye when I came out the lift this morning and all the athletes were there. It’s just a huge honour.”
Resplendent in full kilt on a sweltering day, and proprietorially clutching the flagstick like a child would a favourite toy, the East Lothian bowler was in his element when talking about the news on Wednesday.
Marshall conceded he would have to let it go for the evening before having it returned before the big show.
But he might have to battle with Adlington for first shot of it when that time comes. “And I’d win that fight,” joked the 39-year-old heavyweight.
Adlington, who won judo gold in 2014 and 2022 and is looking to end her career by completing the treble, revealed the two of them have known the news for a few weeks but had been sworn to secrecy.
“That’s been really hard,” she told BBC Sport Scotland. “I was told I could tell my nearest and dearest but for everyone else it will be a massive surprise.
“I’m just so excited. I was so nervous when I woke up this morning, and I think I’ll be even more nervous tomorrow. I might not even sleep tonight but if it’s even half as good as it was in 2014, it will be amazing.”
The Brasileirão leaders returned from the World Cup break with another win.
Palmeiras beat Coritiba this Wednesday (22) at Couto Pereira, thanks especially to their Paraguayans.
Recently naturalized, Maurício scored the match’s first two goals, both in the first half, making it 2-0 with less than 20 minutes played.

Ramón Sosa provided the assist for the opening goal and extended the lead in the second half.
Paulo Roberto scored Coritiba’s only goal of the match, which came right after Palmeiras’ third.
Coxa still pushed for an equalizer in the closing stages, but created little.
Carlos Miguel‘s main moment in the match came in first-half stoppage time, with a spectacular save from a header by Thiago Santos.

Every once in a while, a big leaguer looks like a little leaguer on the diamond.
Unfortunately for the Philadelphia Phillies, star catcher J.T. Realmuto’s Little League-esque blunder ended the game.
In the bottom of the ninth inning of the Phillies’ 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies had runners on second and third with one out.

Justin Crawford, who pinch-ran for Alec Bohm, was on third base, while Realmuto was on second base. Right fielder Brandon Marsh was up against closer Tanner Scott.
Marsh hit a weak ground ball to third base, and Crawford started to go home but stopped after a few steps.
Interim Phillies manager Don Mattingly said postgame the contact play was on, which means Crawford was supposed to run home no matter what. However, Crawford said the contact play was on unless the ball was hit to third base.
So Crawford, now caught between third base and home plate, got in a rundown. Realmuto ran to third base but inexplicably turned around to go back to second base when he saw Crawford run back to third base.

Mookie Betts tagged Crawford out and then whirled and fired to second baseman Tommy Edman to nab Realmuto going back to second, completing a chaotic 5-2-6-4 double play to end the game.
Phillies announcer John Kruk was in disbelief after seeing Realmuto run back toward second base.
“Oh no, JT! Oh no,” Kruk said.
Realmuto said postgame it was a bad baserunning play.
“Just a bad baserunning play, really,” Realmuto told reporters postgame. “We were going on seeing it through there, and once (Crawford) gets in the rundown and I’m on third base, there’s no reason for me to go back to second. Just a lack of judgment. You can’t make two outs on that play. I’ve just got to stay in scoring position.”

“Just a lapse in judgment. I thought Crawford could get out of the rundown for some reason. The chances of that are so small, you just can’t take that chance there of making two outs on one play.”
Realmuto said he should have played it through in his head before it happened and been more proactive in his preparation. Mattingly said he wasn’t sure what his star catcher was thinking.
“I don’t know what JT was thinking there, honestly, because he got to third,” Mattingly told reporters postgame.
“With contact on,” Mattingly said, “just hoping (Crawford) stays in (the rundown) long enough to get Marsh to second, and you end up in the same spot.”

The baserunning blunder comes in the midst of a down season for Realmuto. The three-time All-Star catcher is hitting just .215 with seven home runs, which well below his career batting average of .268.

Wasim Jaffer says KL Rahul ‘is at par’ with Virat Kohli, reveals one quality that separates them | Cricket News
Former India opener Wasim Jaffer has made a bold comparison between KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, saying the Indian wicketkeeper-batter possesses the same level of talent and technical ability as the batting great. However, Jaffer believes it is Kohli’s unmatched mentality and relentless consistency that have helped him scale unprecedented heights in international cricket.Rahul and Kohli have shared the Indian dressing room for over a decade, with the duo making their international careers around the same era. While Kohli has gone on to become one of the greatest batters of the modern era, Rahul has often been praised for his elegant strokeplay and versatility but has struggled to convert his immense potential into sustained dominance.Speaking on The Great Indian Cricket Show on Doordarshan, Jaffer reflected on his time as part of the Punjab Kings coaching setup and recalled working closely with Rahul during the IPL.
‘KL Rahul is at par with Virat Kohli in talent’
Jaffer described Rahul as one of the most technically complete batters in world cricket and said the Karnataka star still has plenty to achieve.“KL is a top-class player who plays all three formats remarkably well. Technically sound, composed, and level-headed. Even though he is still actively playing, I believe he has somewhat underachieved given his skill set. He can get so many more runs for both India and his franchise,” Jaffer said. The former India opener then made a striking comparison with Kohli.“In terms of pure talent and quality, I genuinely believe he is at par with Virat Kohli, but it is Virat’s elite mentality that creates that ultimate separation between KL and Virat,” he added.
Virat Kohli vs KL Rahul: International career comparison
Although Jaffer rates Rahul’s talent alongside Kohli’s, the numbers underline the remarkable gap created by Kohli’s longevity and consistency as Kohli started his international career 6 years prior to KL Rahul.
| Stat | Virat Kohli | KL Rahul |
|---|---|---|
| International Matches | 562 | 238 |
| Runs | 28,359 | 9,830 |
| Batting Average | 52.71 | 40.45 |
| Centuries | 85 | 22 |
| Half-centuries | 148 | 62 |

VikingsTerritory is here to answer your questions, publishing them weekly in a single article. The timing is opportune, with training camp getting off the ground in approximately four days.
We have selected the primary questions from the email inbox, and our responses are provided below.
Vikings’ Summer Questions Stretch from Rookies to the Division Race
Question: If you had to guess one single rookie who will make the most impact for the Vikings in 2026, who would that be?
Answer: DT Domonique Orange.
The Vikings found Orange in Round 3 from Iowa State, and because nose tackles are often asked to “only stop the run,” they get up to NFL speed quicker than other rookies. We don’t believe Orange will be different.
The Vikings didn’t have an official general manager during the draft, leading us to assume that defensive coordinator Brian Flores had more input than usual during the process. It’s unlikely that he was forced to pick Orange.
And because Levi Drake Rodriguez — who is decent, not great — is the only NT standing in Orange’s way, VikingsTerritory thinks Orange will see the field as early as September.
Caleb Banks and Jake Golday will get snaps as rookies, but pencil us in for fans falling in love with Orange and his run-stopping ways.
Question: What do you expect from Demond Claiborne as a rookie?
Answer: Enough to wet your whistle for 2027.
Sadly, Claiborne probably won’t see gobs of touches in the Vikings’ offense; Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason are ahead of him on the depth chart, and the Vikings’ coaches value the dependability of those men.
But Claiborne has speed to die for (4.37), which Jones and Mason do not possess. We estimate around 75 touches for Claiborne and more if Jones rides the injury train, which usually happens. It’s unclear if Claiborne has the tackle-breaking gene to become an RB1 or elite RB vision, but we trust that new assistant head coach Frank Smith will guide him in the right direction.
When we get to the 2027 offseason, fans will wonder which running back the Vikings will find to pair with Claiborne as a one-two punch.
Question: Why did Minnesota settle on Blake Brandel at center?
Answer: He improved every game at center during Ryan Kelly’s absence in 2025.
Offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said about Brandel last season, “The way Blake handled this game, I think we might be looking at a situation where this could be his best position of all five across the line. And getting Jurgens back into practice is just a plus for us. And we’ll see where all those guys are at throughout the week as we assess.”
“Going back to years past, Blake hasn’t played a lot of center, but they’re always working those guys because of these situations, the interior backups particularly, have to at least be swing guards. Having some center flex centers that are only centers, kind of limit you with your roster. Generally, they have to at least function at guard. So those guys get worked in throughout the offseason.”
The Vikings could’ve signed about five different veteran centers in free agency or drafted Logan Jones, Sam Hecht, Jake Slaughter, or Connor Lew in April.
But nope — they trust Brandel. Perhaps the guy deserves a fair shake.
Question: Are the Vikings capable of winning the NFC North?
Answer: Of course.
Minnesota can win the NFC North if they do one thing: protect the football.
In 2024, the Vikings ranked third-best via turnover differential. In 2025, they ranked third-worst in the same metric. Kevin O’Connell’s Vikings follow one strict script: when his team protects the football and wins the turnover battle, it wins 90% of games. When it loses the turnover battle, that win percentage drops to 27%.
The rest will take care of itself if Minnesota’s offense protects the ball while Flores’s defense does Flores defense things.
Inter Miami announced the signing of Brazil midfielder and five-time Champions League winner Casemiro on Wednesday, and Major League Soccer is now investigating whether the reigning league champion engaged in tampering to get that deal done.
The 34-year-old Casemiro – who appeared in all five of Brazil’s matches at this year’s World Cup, scoring one goal – is under contract with Inter Miami through the end of next year’s sprint season, with an extension option through June 2029.
Casemiro’s discovery rights were held by the LA Galaxy, and by league rule that would have prevented Inter Miami from negotiating with him. The teams reached a settlement that allowed Inter Miami to get the long-awaited signing done, but the league is still probing the tampering allegation.
“The league is gathering all relevant information and will refrain from further comment until the review is complete,” MLS said in a statement. “While Inter Miami CF and the LA Galaxy have reached a settlement for the Discovery Priority to sign Casemiro, the terms will be released upon conclusion of the tampering investigation.”
It’s unclear when Casemiro will debut for Inter Miami. The team said he is still waiting on the necessary visa.
Casemiro spent the past four seasons with Manchester United, and the bulk of his professional career prior to that with Real Madrid.
“He is a winner who has achieved so much in the game and after such an incredible career with Real Madrid and Manchester United I’m delighted that he’s decided to make Miami his next home,” Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham said.

A 126-member Indian athlete contingent will vie for medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, starting in Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday. With no wrestling, badminton, hockey, or table tennis this time around, India will look to maximize medals from the disciplines in which they are competing. Four years ago in Birmingham, India finished fourth with 61 medals-a tally expected to drop noticeably due to the absence of those key sports. Despite that, India has named a strong squad for core events such as athletics, boxing, and weightlifting.
Let’s take a look at India’s top gold medal winning prospects at CWG 2026:
Neeraj Chopra (Javelin)
Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra will headline a 32-member Indian athletics team for the Commonwealth Games. Recovering from a lower back injury, Chopra made a late start to the season at the Doha Diamond League, where he finished fourth with a throw of 85.69m. The Tokyo Olympics gold medallist missed the Games in Birmingham, but won the gold medal during the 2018 event in Gold Coast, Australia.
Mirabai Chanu (Weightlifting)
Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu will carry the Tricolour during the athletes’ parade. India’s Tokyo Olympics silver medallist heads to Glasgow as one of India’s brightest medal hopes. The 31-year-old weightlifter is a two-time Commonwealth Games champion, having claimed gold medals at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. She will compete in the women’s 48kg category at Glasgow.
Lovlina Borgohain (Boxing)
Pugilist Lovlina Borgohain will be looking to win her maiden Commonwealth Games medal after missing out on the podium at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. The 28-year-old, a former World and Asian champion, will compete in the women’s 75kg boxing event.
Murali Sreeshankar (Long jump)
Four years after winning the silver medal in Birmingham, Murali Sreeshankar has emerged as one of the standout performers in Indian athletics. Last month, Sreeshankar produced a personal-best-equalling 8.38m effort at the Inter-State Championships in Bhubaneswar.
Lawn Bowls (Women’s and Men’s teams)
India’s Lawn Bowls contingent scripted history at the Birmingham Games by securing two medals. The women’s fours team won a landmark gold, while the men’s fours team claimed silver.

Jul 22, 2026; Seattle, Washington, USA; Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart (27) celebrates while running the bases after hitting a three-run home run against the Seattle Mariners during the seventh inning at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Sal Stewart hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the host Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Wednesday afternoon.
JJ Bleday also went deep and Brady Singer (5-9) pitched 6 2/3 quality innings as the Reds took two of three games in the interleague series, knocking the Mariners out of first place in the American League West.
Singer allowed three runs on six hits to win his second straight start. The right-hander walked one and struck out six.
Cincinnati closer Emilio Pagan, a former Mariner, worked a perfect ninth for his ninth save of the season and second in as many days.
Edwin Arroyo drew a one-out walk in the seventh off Mariners reliever Eduard Bazardo (3-3) and Ke’Bryan Hayes lined a single to center field. With two outs, Stewart hit the first pitch of the at-bat over the fence in right-center to put the Reds up 5-3.
The Mariners opened the scoring in the second inning. Josh Naylor hit a one-out single to shallow center off the glove of shortstop Elly De La Cruz and proceeded to steal second. Cal Raleigh lined a single to right, scoring Naylor.
The Reds took the lead in the fourth. Bleday led off with a homer to right off Mariners starter Emerson Hancock. With two outs, Tyler Stephenson doubled to right, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Dane Myers infield single, on which second baseman Cole Young made a diving stop to his left but was unable to cleanly get the ball out of his mitt.
Seattle regained the lead in the bottom of the frame. Dominic Canzone lined a single to right before being forced out on a grounder by Randy Arozarena. Naylor hit a ground-rule double down the left-field line, sending Arozarena to third. Both runners scored on Luke Raley’s two-out single to center.
Hancock made a quality start, leaving after six innings with a 3-2 lead. The right-hander gave up two runs on five hits, with one walk and three strikeouts.
