In an exciting development for chess enthusiasts, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has announced a new competition format, “Chess Masters”, set to air on BBC Two and iPlayer in 2025. This news comes over 40 years after the popular show “The Master Game” graced our screens, running for seven series from 1976 to 1983.
In an astonishing display of skill and resilience, 17-year-old Indian chess grandmaster Gukesh Dommaraju has made history by winning the 2024 FIDE Candidates Tournament. This remarkable achievement has earned him the right to challenge current World Champion Ding Liren for the title later this year.
