by Devansh Singh - 18/06/2026

With just 1 round to go at the 360 One Global Chess Festival, Iniyan Panneerselvam is currently leading with a full point over Boris Savchenko. Iniyan is on 7/8, while Savchenko is on 6/8. If Iniyan manages to draw the last round, he will be crowned the Champion. In Junior Masters, Madhvendra Pratap Sharma is on 7.5/8 points, keeping his 1-point lead, and a last-round draw will be enough to clinch the title. In the challengers, the tournament is still wide open, and an exciting finish is expected on the final day. Photos: Tushar Damor/ ChessBase India
