FIDE Grand Swiss 2025: Why is world champion Gukesh playing in Samarkand?

Gukesh didn’t need to take part in the FIDE Grand Swiss Chess tournament as the reigning World Champion but the Indian Grandmaster didn’t want to let go of an opportunity to prove himself in a different format. The Grand Swiss offers two qualifying spots for the Candidates Tournament, the winner of which earns the right to challenge the world champion for the title. Though he has no need to qualify for the Candidates, Gukesh’s choice to compete in the Grand Swiss underscores his hunger to keep proving himself at big events.
