Vokhidov is the coleader of Mukhiddin
The ten-player nine-round, Round-Robin Super tournament will take place from 4th to 12th December 2025 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Mukhiddin - Nihal: 1-0
This was the first time GM Mukhiddin Madaminov (UZB, 2552) was facing GM Nihal Sarin (2701) in a Classical rated game. Fresh off of working with GM Javokhir Sindarov (UZB) as his second for the FIDE World Cup 2025, it goes without saying that Mukhiddin's confidence is at an all-time high.
Nihal decided to give up the pawn 11...0-0 which is fine. 12.Nxc6 Qe8 13.Nb4 now Black needed to recover it 13...Nxe4 14.Re1 Bxc3 15.bxc3 Qe5. The game continued 13...Rb8 14.a3 Bb5 15.Nxb5 Qxb5 16.f3 Qxa6 17.Nxa6 Rb6 Black had enough compensation for the pawn. In the rook and knight vs rook and bishop, Black tried to overpush, sacrificed another pawn and things did not work out for him.
