Hungarian Grandmaster Peter Leko, who was eliminated by India's Arjun Erigaisi in the fourth round of the Chess World Cup 2025 in Goa on November 13, has accepted FIDE's request to join the official commentary panel. The 46-year-old will now stay until the event concludes. "From the beginning, I felt at home playing here in India," Leko said.
