Grandmaster Arjun Erigaisi and Pentala Harikrishna advanced to the pre-quarterfinals of the FIDE World Cup 2025 in Panaji, Goa, after impressive tiebreak wins on Thursday.
Erigaisi defeated Hungary’s GM Peter Leko in both rapid games to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory, while Harikrishna beat Sweden’s GM Nils Grandelius 2.5-1.5. However, R.
