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!

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.
