Fischerandom Chess Showdown

Last Tuesday, the municipality of Bærum, Norway unanimously decided to allocate 1,500,000 Norwegian kroner (NOK) – half of the aimed money prize – to fund a Fischerandom match between 16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura – the 4th (and last) unofficial World Fischerandom Chess Champion – to be held in the month of February at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter at Høvikodden in Bærum municipality.
The news was anticipated by the Budstikka website, and not denied by Carlsen’s manager Simen Agdestein.
