Dress rehearsals

The 6th Altibox Norway Chess – a super-closed super-tournament for super-tops only – starts on Monday, May 28, 2018 16,30 at Clarion Hotel Energy in Stavanger, Norway. An issue of interest is, among other things, that 16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and his challenger Fabiano Caruana once again will play each other in the first round already. After today’s game, they could possibly no longer meet each other until their upcoming World Chess Championship match scheduled for next fall in London, United Kingdom. Paradoxically speaking, today’s game result has mostly an advertising significance and must not be taken too seriously, even if, of course, it’s not even the case to take it as a joke.
