Clutch Chess: Champions Showdown 2026 - Games and results
The Clutch Chess: Champions Showdown took place Tue 27th Oct 2026 to 29th Oct 2026. The idea of the event is to have increasing scores from day 1 to day 3 so that the scoring is volatile and likely there will be something to play for right to the end. Javokhir Sindarov won the event with a draw in the final round, if Praggnanandhaa had won he would have taken the event. That said the players finished in exactly the order they would have finished with standard scoring.

41st European Club Cup 2026 - Games and Results
The 41st European Club Cup took place in Budva, Montenegro Sat 17th Oct to Fri 23rd Oct 2026.
In the Open top seeds Bayegan Pendik Chess Sports Club (Giri, Erdogmus, Tabatabaei, Rapport, Mamedyarov) just edged out Novy Bor Chess Club (Yakubboev, Sarin, Harikrishna, Anton) to take the title. Rishon LeZion A (Gelfand) finished 3rd. Second seeds SuperChess Romania (Abdusattorov, Van Foreest) finished fourth. Richard Pert scored a result of a lifetime starting with 6/6 before unfortunately losing in the final round.
In the Women's event top seeds Cercle d'Echecs de Monte-Carlo (Goryachkina, Koneru, Tsolakidou, Paehtz, Cramling) won ahead of Gambit Bonnevoie (Ushenina, Kulon, Danielian, Maltsevskaya, Khalafova) and Sirmium Sremska Mitrovica (Shuvalova, Garifullina, Salimova, Injac, Balabayeva). It was the phenomenon that is Bodhana Sivanandan who took the headlines, her 5.5/7 at the age of 11 makes her the youngest female to become an IM breaking Judit Polgar's long standing record and 7th youngest IM over all. It wasn't really a surprise, she was already playing to well above IM level.
