The second leg of the 2026 Grand Chess Tour (GCT) —the Super Chess Classic Romania—concluded with an absolute nail-biter of a final round.

Held at the stunning Museum of the National Bank of Romania from May 13 to May 23, 2026, the 10-player classical round-robin tournament featured a grueling test of deep preparation and mental stamina.

Interview: Captain Ivan Sokolov - on coaching Gold-Winning Uzbek Chess Squad

Image
Ivan Sokolov, by Frank Hoppe Public domain GM Ivan Sokolov , a former top player himself, was the coach of the gold-winning Uzbek team at the Olympiad in Chennai, India. In an interview with Chess.com, the Dutch-Bosnian grandmaster reveals what it's like to work with prodigies who have taught him something about chess as well. Born and raised in Bosnia (then Yugoslavia, now part of Bosnia and Herzegovina), he was one of the millions who left or fled the country during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. He settled in the Netherlands in 1992, which was a much more chess-loving country then when it had five or six annual grandmaster tournaments. His Dutch residence also made it easier for Sokolov to travel to tournaments abroad. source: Chesscom
