    FIDE World Cup 2025: Arjun Defeats Aronian With Black To Reach Quarters; Harikrishna To Play Tiebreak

    By IANS News November 16, 2025 • 11:14 AM View: 402

    GM Arjun Erigaisi rejected a draw offer from GM Levon Aronian before tightening the noose on his experienced opponent to win with black pieces to advance to the quarterfinals, while P Harikrishna will now have to go through a tiebreak in the FIDE World Cup 2025 here on Saturday.

    Having drawn the opening game of Round 5 with white, Arjun Erigaisi, who drew the first game in this round, pinned Aronian’s king in the h1 corner and forced the two-time World Cup winner to resign after the 38th move as he launched a triple attack with a queen, bishop, and knight.
