Uzbekistan’s chess star Javokhir Sindarov, with his latest major achievement, has reached great success not only on the sports stage but also financially. His total earnings gained from this championship amount to more than approximately 1 million 300 thousand US dollars.
In short — this figure is not ordinary. Yes, this is a truly big reward.
In this prestigious tournament, Sindarov is receiving prize money from two main sources. The first direction is the payments set by the International Chess Federation FIDE.
According to the rules, there is a guaranteed prize of 70 thousand euros for winning the championship. In addition, a bonus of 5 thousand euros is awarded for each half-point. So far, Javokhir has collected 9.5 points, which means an additional income of 95 thousand euros.
If he continues to gain points in the final round, the total amount may increase even more. Thus, from this tournament alone, he has already earned at least around 165 thousand euros.
However, the biggest bonuses are still ahead, in the main battle. That is, participation in the match for the world crown itself guarantees a large reward. Regardless of the result, the finalists receive significant sums.
For example, in the previous final, the winner D. Gukesh received approximately 1.35 million US dollars, while the runner-up Ding Liren earned around 1.15 million US dollars.
In conclusion, this achievement has brought Javokhir Sindarov more than approximately 1.3 million US dollars in earnings. However, this figure is not final — depending on the result, it may increase further.
Regardless of whether it is a footballer or a chess player, such a level of success is the result of great effort and great pressure. Sindarov, however, remains a representative of the younger generation who is calmly overcoming this pressure.
