FIDE World Cup 2025: Sindarov, 19, Scripts History As Youngest-ever Champion

By IANS News November 27, 2025 • 08:10 AM View: 326

Uzbekistan’s teenage sensation Javokhir Sindarov carved his name into chess history, becoming the youngest player ever to win the Chess World Cup after outlasting China’s Wei Yi in a nerve-wracking tiebreak finale in Goa on Wednesday.

In an event where favourites were eliminated one after another before the knockout stages, Sindarov started the tournament as the sixteenth seed. It was anything but simple for him to earn the title. In a close semifinal match against fellow countryman Nodirbek Yakubboev, he only prevailed after reaching the tiebreaks.
