The Olympiad will serve as a great rehearsal for Gukesh before he champions the FIDE World Champion, Ding Liren in November this year. Gukesh won the FIDE Candidates tournament earlier in April this year, earning himself a title shot against Chinas Liren.

Gukesh became the youngest player to win a Candidates tournament. The 18-year-old won the prestigious tournament in Toronto in April.

Apart from Gukesh and Praggnanandhaa, Grand Masters Arjun Erigaisi, Vidith Gujrathi and Harikrishna Pentala will be representing the tri-colour in Budapest in the mens department.

When it comes to the womens department, Vaishali Rameshbabu, Divya Deshmukh, Vantika Agrawal, Harika Dronavalli and Tania Sachdev will be the Indian representatives at the 2024 Chess Olympiad.

The 2024 Chess Olympiad will start on Tuesday, September 10 in Budapest, Hungary. The tournament will last for a total of 14 days, up until Monday, September 23.
