    Goa International Open Grandmasters Chess: World Chess Champion D. Gukesh is eager to return to Goa, a place that has special significance from his early playing days. He is getting ready to lead the Indian team at the esteemed 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.

    Gukesh's last appearance in Goa was in 2019, where he finished 10th in the Category ‘A’ Goa International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament, despite being seeded much lower initially.
