Chennai Grand Masters Postponed Until Thursday After Fire Incident At Venue
The Chennai Grand Masters: The Chennai Grand Masters 2025, India's premier classical chess tournament, has been postponed by a day after a fire incident at the Hyatt Regency Chennai on Tuesday night, the organisers said on Wednesday.
The third edition of Chennai Grandmasters was initially scheduled to kick off on August 6, with a marquee opening round clash between World No. 5 Arjun Erigaisi and American prodigy Awonder Liang. But a fire at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, where the competition was due to take place, forced the event to be postponed until Thursday.
"Due to an unforeseen electrical fire incident at the hotel, the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters has been postponed by a day. We’re relieved to share that everyone is Safe and no injuries have occurred," the organisers said in a statement shared on X.
