The Hindu Vocab On Chess Tournament In Toronto\u00a0 \u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

India has a strong contingent at the Candidates chess tournament\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Candidates is a familiar word in these times of a general election (a time when people vote in order to choose someone for a political or official job<\/strong>), but over the next three weeks, it will appear regularly on the sports pages of newspapers as well, across the world. The opening move of the Candidates chess tournament was made in Toronto late on Thursday (IST). It is the mind game\u2019s biggest event of the year, and its winners \u2014 in the open and the women\u2019s sections \u2014 will be eligible (having the necessary qualities or satisfying the necessary conditions<\/strong>) <\/strong>to compete for the World championship. China\u2019s Ding Liren and Ju Wenjun are the reigning (being the most recent winner of a competition<\/strong>) <\/strong>world champions. They, along with the rest of the chess world, will have their eyes set on the Canadian city to find out who will emerge as the challenger (someone who tries to win a competition, fight, or sports event from someone who has previously won it) <\/strong>from among the men and women there. The country that will follow the tournament with the keenest interest could well be India. For, five out of the 16 contestants, eight each in either section, are Indians. R. Praggnanandhaa, D. Gukesh and Vidit Gujrathi are fighting it out in the open tournament, while Koneru Humpy and R. Vaishali are competing (to try to be more successful than someone or something else<\/strong>) <\/strong>in the women\u2019s tournament. Remember, only one Indian has played in this prestigious (very much respected and admired, usually because of being important<\/strong>) <\/strong>event (open) before \u2014 Viswanathan Anand, a five-time world champion, continues to be an inspiration (someone or something that gives you ideas for doing something<\/strong>). India\u2019s conspicuous (very noticeable or attracting attention, often in a way that is not wanted<\/strong>) <\/strong>presence is a fair indication (a sign that something exists, is true, or is likely to happen<\/strong>) <\/strong>of how strong it has become in world chess. More proof is provided by the latest World rankings, in which the highest ranked Indian (No. 9), Arjun Erigaisi, is not even playing at the Candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the Indians started as a favourite in the open event of the Candidates, though. Two Americans, Fabiano Caruana and Hikaru Nakamura, are the strongest players in Toronto. They are ranked second and third, behind Magnus Carlsen, who has opted (to make a choice, especially of one thing or possibility instead of others<\/strong>) <\/strong>out of the World championship cycle, citing a lack of motivation. Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi is another major contende<\/strong>r (someone who competes with other people to try to win something<\/strong>), having won the tournament<\/strong>\u2019s (a competition involving many competitors in a single sport or game<\/strong>) last two editions. Alireza Firouzja, the Iranian-born French player, is another player the Indian men have to be wary of. Praggnanandhaa and Gukesh are still in their teens, and this is likely to be only their first Candidates \u2014 they are more than capable (able to do things effectively and skilfully, and to achieve results<\/strong>) <\/strong>of surprising the toughest of fields, as they showed at the Chess Olympiad and the World Cup. Koneru Humpy is by far the most experienced Indian in Toronto. A former World Rapid champion, she is one of the main contenders in the women\u2019s tournament. Vaishali, Praggnanandhaa\u2019s elder sister, is one of the world\u2019s fastest improving female players. The women\u2019s tournament, which features the former World champion Tan Zhongyi of China, looks more open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
