Speaking to the Indian press, five-time World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen confirmed that he is going to take on Fabiano Caruana in a Fischerandom chess match scheduled for November 21–22 in Singapore, just a few days before the classical World Championship match between 丁立人 (Dīng Lìrén) and Dommaraju Gukesh. “I’m playing freestyle chess next week against Fabiano”, Carlsen said. “Then I will play a bunch of freestyle tournaments next year. Apart from that, I enjoy rapid and blitz — both rapid and over the board. That’s pretty much it for me”. The deus ex machina of the big bang, German entrepreneur Jan Henric Buettner, said to Hindustan Times that “Originally, the idea was to have a exhibition match during the World Championship, but since Fabiano has other engagements, we decided to push it ahead”. According to what is known so far, the heretical match is likely to take place in the night at the futuristic Supertree Grove.
