16/05/2024 – El GM Nikolas Theodorou protagonizó la mayor sorpresa de la segunda ronda del 7º Masters de Sharjah 2024. El número 2 de Grecia derrotó con facilidad al favorito del torneo, GM Arjun Erigaisi, después de que éste juzgara mal la intensidad del ataque de su rival. El descuido en la defensa de un peón clave provocó la derrota en cuatro jugadas. El GM Aravindh Chithambaram es el único indio que ha ganado las dos partidas disputadas hasta ahora. Venció a GM Mahammad Muradli (AZE) sin mayores dificultades. GM Sankalp Gupta aprovechó su oportunidad cuando su oponente, el GM Shant Sargsyan (ARM) cometió un error en el final. En el grupo Challengers, Kush Devnani ganó una batalla de ida y vuelta cuando el GM Hesham Abdelrahman (EGY) cometió un error grave que provocó un mate en dos.
