16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and his challenger Fabiano Caruana will take different roads, if only in the next (short) time period before their November World Chess Championship match. Carlsen will take part in the 34th European Chess Club Cup in Porto Carras, Greece from October 11–19, 2018 where he will debut as first board of the sixth seeded Vålerenga Sjakklubb. Instead, Caruana will defend America’s Olympic gold at the 43rd Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia, from September 23 to October 6, 2018.
