Episode 53: "Everyone knows my next job!" - Javokhir Sindarov

The 46th FIDE Chess Olympiad 2026 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan has come to an end, with Uzbekistan winning Open gold on home soil, India taking silver and Germany claiming bronze, while China won the Women's Chess Olympiad ahead of Kazakhstan and India. In this video, I review the biggest stories from the Chess Olympiad, including the team and individual medals, the performances of Gukesh and Javokhir Sindarov ahead of their 2026 World Chess Championship match, and the remarkable achievements of Bodhana Sivandan becoming the youngest-ever Woman Grandmaster, Charlton Manyasta earning the FIDE Master title and Sizakele Masango becoming a Woman FIDE Master. We also look at the final Samarkand 2026 standings, standout players, South African achievements and the memorable conclusion to the 46th Chess Olympiad.WATCH NEXT:▶️ Preview → https://youtu.be/xmSbye1Oiyk▶️ Round 1 → https://youtu.be/oiIkj8qOaCI▶️ Round 2 → https://youtu.be/ZLySTA5kUyo▶️ Round 3 → https://youtu.be/Ae16ZCWJrPM▶️ Round 4 → https://youtu.be/7DJCMcMJdsc▶️ Round 5 → https://youtu.be/OAdAJ8TygqQ▶️ Round 6 → https://youtu.be/8rG1\_hQcu88▶️ Round 7 → https://youtu.be/Hf8T5dUzg-E▶️ Round 8 → https://youtu.be/C8cMa7Ztuzo▶️ Round 9 → https://youtu.be/yp03OtgaLNo▶️ Round 10 → https://youtu.be/x6QTfygPALs▶️ Round 11 → https://youtu.be/E0cZWQfflQI▶️ Review → https://youtu.be/pnQ7VqWTd9gwww.youtube.com/channel/UCcCYnCaW-MTNMo0BuxO3EkQ🔗 Follow Me Here:👕 Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@maverickchess?\_t=ZS-8zfqUjhMCKg&\_r=1📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maverickchess200?igsh=M2k5bTlkYm50Zm5x🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/Matthew551021🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/50zEWipHPduEQ6sZWuE6oT🛍️ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3d21c000-d7f7-4da3-9aa1-ece2cf5ecf7a/maverick-chess-podcasts🍏 Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/maverick-chess-podcasts/id1823220097🎮 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/maverick\_matt23♟ Chess.com: https://www.chess.com/member/trustymatt♞ Lichess.org: //lichess.org/@/TrustyMatt☕ Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/matthewrichards2005🎓 Learn How to Play ChessNew to chess or want to improve?
