Success in Freestyle Chess and qualification for WCh 2027
Nodirbek is giving lessons to the world's grandmasters not only in standard and blitz chess, but also in new formats gaining popularity worldwide.
Victory in Bad Wiessee:
In February this year, at the prestigious FIDE World Championship in Freestyle Chess (Fisher Random / Chess 960) held in Bad Wiessee, Germany, Abdusattorov showed high skill and won the bronze medal which was a historic achievement. This award allowed our compatriot to secure a direct qualification (license) for the 2027 World Championship ahead of schedule.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with giants like Carlsen and Nakamura is clear proof of how powerful the Uzbek chess school has become today. We wish Nodirbek constant luck and victories on his great journey to bring the chess crown to Tashkent! Keep leaving your opponents in the dust, Nodirbek!
