Round the World

Magnus Carlsen, the Unchallenged G.O.A.T., sees a bright future for Fischer’s chess: “I feel like the format really works. We’re basically thrown into an unfamiliar middlegame on move 1, where the price of a mistake is really high... It’s a refreshing change of pace!”, he said.
On his part, the sponsor of the inaugural Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T. Challenge, Jan Henric Buettner, has great ideas on how to market the revolutionary brand of Fischerandom chess. As Leonard Barden wrote in his The Guardian column of today, German entrepreneur “said that the event would return to Germany in February 2025, when there could also be a Freestyle Tour, with events in the U.S. in May, India in August, and Cape Town, South Africa, in November”.
