IM Ulviyya Fataliyeva has won the European Women's Chess Championship 2024! A draw in the final round against GM Nino Batsiashvili was enough to secure the title undefeated with 8.5/10. IMs Nataliya Buksa and Lela Javakhishvili finished 2nd and 3rd respectively with 7.5 points on tiebreak criteria.

History has been made! We have a new challenger for the World Chess Championship:

Congratulations to 17-year-old Gukesh for winning the 2024 #FIDECandidates - the youngest player ever to qualify for the World Championship match!

lichess, 16 days ago to random

Gukesh drew with Nakamura in the final round of the #FIDECandidates and now only Caruana can stop the 17-year-old from winning the tournament outright with a victory over Nepo! Gukesh and Caruana would face each other in a tiebreak tomorrow.

It took just 5 minutes and is certainly the fastest game of the 2024 #FIDECandidates: Berlin draw between Firouzja and Vidit, who both had no chance of winning the tournament anymore.
