After the first two rounds of the Sharjah Masters 2025, just three players have won both their games: GM Visakh N. R., GM Dai Changren and the former European Champion, GM Aleksandar Inđić, who sacrificed an exchange in the endgame to beat GM Bharath Subramaniyam!

Watch Round 2 of the Sharjah Masters now with us and our hosts GM Toms Kantāns and IM Irene Sukandar on YouTube and Twitch! On the top board, GM Anish Giri plays against GM Karthik Venkataraman with the black pieces.

In Round 1 of the Sharjah Masters, GM S. P. Sethuraman had the advantage against top seed GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov, but let his chances slip and the game ended in a draw. A minor upset happened on board 5, where home favourite GM Salem Saleh lost to GM Dai Changren. He will try to bounce back in Round 2, starting at 11:00 UTC.
