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.
