Breaking the Ice

The 7th Norway Chess starts tomorrow (Tuesday, June 4) in Stavanger — starring 16th World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén), Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Alexander Igorevich Grischuk, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Viswanathan Anand, Wesley So, Levon Grigori Aronian, and 余泱漪 (Yú Yāngyī) — with its new gambling “no draw” format.
It’s quite uncertain, however, whether such a format will ever become a standard, and whether even such an outstanding lineup of superheroes may succeed in stealing the scene from the women candidates in Kazan, Russia. Only time will tell. For further details and information please visit: https://norwaychess.no/en/.
