Show notes

In this heartfelt and action-packed episode of the Chess Gaja Podcast, we begin by paying tribute to the legendary Fridrik Olafsson—an iconic Icelandic Grandmaster, former FIDE president, and a trailblazer for chess in his country. We then dive into major tournament updates, from the high-stakes Freestyle Chess Grand Slam in Paris featuring Carlsen and Gukesh, to Ju Wenjun's dominant performance in the 2025 Women’s World Championship. Plus, we spotlight rising talents like Divya Deshmukh, Vaclav Finek, and Jonas Buhl Bjerre, making waves in the global chess scene. Join us as we reflect, celebrate, and look ahead to the future of chess. ♟️ Content and Editorial support by Ruhaan Sidhu
