Shakeup in FIDE Circuit 2024 leaderboard as Erigaisi leads
Arjun Erigaisi edged out Nodirbek Abdusattorov from the top position in the FIDE Circuit leaderboard after gaining 5.2 points in the 7th Sharjah Masters. However, it should be noted that the Indian GM collected 57.6 points in five tournaments, whereas Nodirbek's 55.3 points are the sum of just his three results.
The top 10 saw some significant changes as well. Amin Tabatabaei earned 15 points in the Dubai Police Global Chess Challenge – Masters and 7th Sharjah Masters and moved to sixth place, while Parham Maghsoodloo also climbed to seventh place after winning the Aktobe Open - Vladimir Dvorkovich Memorial.
Wei Yi's second place finish in the Superbet Poland Rapid & Blitz (which translates to 10.5 points) secured him eighth place on the leaderboard, while Volodar Murzin made it into the top 10 after finishing second in the 7th Sharjah Masters.
The Superbet Romania Chess Classic featuring, among others, Abdusattorov and Gukesh D, is the most important event in June for the FIDE Circuit 2024 race. We can expect a new leader by the end of the tournament.
We maintain a dedicated page on our website for the FIDE Circuit, offering the latest information on eligible tournaments, the current standings, and regulations: FIDE Circuit 2024.

The setup for White recommended by Valeri Lilov is solid and easy to play – the thematic moves are almost always the same ones: Nge2, 0-0, Bg5 (or Be3), Nd5, Qd2. Later, according to Black’s setup, things continue with f4 or even Rac1, b4 and play on the queenside. Starting with the classic Botvinnik-Spassky, Leiden 1970, the author describes this universally employable setup in 7 videos (+ intro and conclusion).
