Swedish IM Thomas Engqvist shares his impressions from the Candidates Tournament in Cyprus (28 March–16 April 2026) and discusses the most exciting contenders in elite chess.
One player stands out: the rapidly rising Uzbek star Javokhir Sindarov. Could he realistically win a World Championship match against Gukesh later this year?
This video also explores the work of Sindarov’s coach, Roman Vidonyak, and his revolutionary chess training system built around 17 key skills — including perseverance, defence, decision-making, calculation, and practical fighting spirit.
We also compare these modern methods with the legendary training philosophy of Mark Dvoretsky, whose influence still shapes top-level preparation today.
This video is for all chess players who want inspiration and who wish to follow Sindarov’s development under a true super-coach.
