The Delhi International Open Grandmasters Chess Tournament (Delhi GM Open) returns this June with a record ₹1.21 crore prize pool. Triveni Sports joins as Associate Sponsor for the 21st edition, boosting one of India’s top chess events. Organized by the Delhi Chess Association, the tournament runs from June 7-14 in New Delhi, featuring over 2,500 players from 15+ countries, including 20 Grandmasters, across three rating-based categories.

As Asia’s largest classical chess event, the Delhi GM Open benefits from Triveni Sports’ strong support—leveraging its deep chess ties and previous Global Chess League successes. Triveni’s Chairman, Dhruv M. Sawhney, a former All India Chess Federation President, will inaugurate the event.

Prize money is ₹51 lakh for Category A (rated players) and ₹35 lakh each for Categories B and C (U-1900 and U-1700). The tournament uses the FIDE Swiss System over 10 rounds per section.
