Fresh off an undefeated, record-setting 10/14 triumph at the 2026 Candidates, Javokhir Sindarov now sits at world No. 4 and is leading his FYERS American Gambits at the 2026 Global Chess League in Bengaluru while preparing to challenge Gukesh Dommaraju for the World Chess Championship in Geneva later this year.
Born December 8, 2005, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Javokhir Sindarov earned the Grandmaster title at just 12 years, 10 months, and 8 days — the second-youngest in chess history, behind only Sergey Karjakin.
Known for an aggressive, dynamic playing style and relentless preparation, Javokhir combines classical chess understanding with a fearless modern approach. Victories over Firouzja, Vachier-Lagrave, Nakamura, and Abdusattorov have made him one of the most dangerous competitors on the elite circuit.
A two-time Uzbek national champion and key member of the historic Olympiad gold-medal team, he represents the new wave of Uzbek chess excellence — while relaxing with CS2 and FIFA off the board.
1 wins, 1 draws, and 0 losses through 4 rounds.
