British Champs hits record; Candidates tightens

British Championships

Warwick just crowned Britain's biggest chess tournament ever.

The 112th British Championship wrapped Round 8 this week with 1,750 entries—a new record—and the richest prize fund in the event's history [Quelle: Chess-Results]. Luke McShane, Michael Adams, and Shreyas Royal are battling atop the nine-round Swiss at the University of Warwick, but 11-year-old Bodhana Sivanandan—at 2303, the highest-rated woman in the field—has stolen the spotlight and proven that youth breakthroughs aren't folklore anymore. One round left to settle it.

Watch whether Sivanandan crashes the podium.

Candidates Tournament

Sindarov's grip on first keeps tightening.

The Uzbek grandmaster extended his cushion after Round 8 by drawing with Esipenko while Caruana lost to Nakamura in a double-rook endgame and slipped further back. Anish Giri's 46-move technical win over Praggnanandhaa put him joint-second, but Sindarov's two-point lead now feels decisive with only six rounds to play. His dangerous Black games against both Caruana and Giri still lie ahead—victory in either would all but seal the ticket to the World Championship match.

The back half will test whether his position holds under fire.
