Nodirbek Yoqubboyev is fighting for a World Championship spot

Nodirbek Yoqubboyev is currently in 3rd place in the overall standings of the Freestyle Friday Championship with 43 points.

Pranav Venkatesh, who led the first part of the tournament, has secured a spot in the 2027 FIDE Freestyle Chess World Championship. At the end of the second part, which runs until December 18, another chess player will qualify for the World Championship.

Currently, Oleksandr Bortnik, who has accumulated 60 points, is ahead of Yoqubboyev. The difference between them is 17 points.

Considering that the winner of each Freestyle Friday tournament is awarded 10 points, it can be said that Yoqubboyev's chances for the qualification spot are high.
