Chess Showdown in Peril: Delhi Leg of Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour Faces Uncertainty

India risks losing the opportunity to host the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour's Delhi leg due to lack of investor support. World Chess Champion D Gukesh's home tournament hangs in the balance, with tour co-founder Jan Henric Buettner warning that alternative venues are being considered if a suitable financial backer isn't found soon. The September 17-24 Delhi event remains unconfirmed, potentially denying Indian fans a chance to see Gukesh compete alongside Magnus Carlsen and other chess legends.
