Arjun Erigaisi Holds Wei Yi in Quarterfinal Opener of FIDE World Cup 2026

Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi (2773) held China’s Wei Yi (2754) to a steady 31-move draw in the first classical quarterfinal of the $2 million FIDE World Cup 2026 in Goa.

The winner of the tie earns a spot in the Viswanathan Anand Cup final and the 2026 Candidates in Cyprus. Confident in a Ruy Lopez Closed system, Arjun stayed well-prepared, maintained a time edge, and secured a balanced rook-and-pawn ending before a threefold repetition.

The second game, where Arjun has white, is now pivotal. Elsewhere, Shankland–Esipenko and Sindarov–Martinez ended in draws, while Nodirbek Yakubboev beat Alexander Donchenko.
