D Gukesh, Divya Deshmukh Win Double Gold As Indian Players Make a Mark at European Chess Club Cup 2025
The Indian chess stars made a mark at the European Chess Club Cup 2025 and this victory will boost their confidence ahead of the Chess World Cup 2025 which is scheduled to be held in Goa on October 30. D Gukesh had become the youngest world champion last year while Divya Deshmukh had won the women's chess World Cup in 2025.
It was a double delight for India at the European Chess Club Cup 2025 as D Gukesh and Divya Deshmukh won two gold medals each at the event. The reigning world champion made a mark as he won the individual gold medal on the top board of ECC board 1 and also guided his team SuperChess to the team gold at the event, securing a perfect score of 14/14. Divya Deshmukh, who earlier this year had become the first Indian to win the women's Chess World Cup, won individual gold in board 2 while representing Cercle d’Echecs de Monte-Carlo at the European Chess Club Cup. Cercle d’Echecs de Monte-Carlo won the championship for the ninth time, finishing on top of the table with 13/14 points after a 2-2 draw against Turkish Airlines Sports Club, but it was enough to secure the championship. These wins will give them a load of confidence ahead of the Chess World Cup 2025 in Goa that starts on October 30. Viswanathan Anand Inaugurates Global Chess League Experience Center in Dallas.
