Pro Chess League 2020 (Games and Results)

PRO Chess League 2020

The PRO Chess League was due to take place 7th January to 5th May 2020 but the final phase was postponed due to the Cornavirus. The final phase took place online 25th to 27th September. Teams from all over the world play online hosted by chess.com. Players including: Fabiano Caruana, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Alexander Grischuk, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Leinier Dominguez Perez, Wesley So, Hikaru Nakamura, Rados?aw Wojtaszek, Wei Yi, Harikrishna Pentala, Alireza Firouzja, Quang Liem Le, David Navara, Evgeny Tomashevsky, Li Chao, Alexei Shirov, Dr Bassem Amin, Sam Shankland, Gawain Jones, Nils Grandelius, Luke McShane, Wang Yue, Ray Robson, Vladimir Fedoseev etc In the final the Armenia Eagles won a very tight final against the favourites Saint Louis Archbishops 9.5-6.5 the teams were tied 6-6 after three of the four legs but in the final one Saint Louis were heavily defeated 3.5-0.5 with the first win by Tigran Petrosian seemingly being key, he scored 3.5/4 for the Eagles and was clearly the difference on the day. However a few days after the result Saint Louis Arch Bishops were declared champions - the reason was precisely Petrosian's results - which the organisers say "violated fair play regulations". Petrosian was accused of cheating by Wesley So earlier in the week and, to say the very least, vigorously denied it. IM Greg Shahade released the following statement: "It's always unfortunate when the league is presented with evidence of fair play violations, but we stand behind the evidence presented from Chess.com's Fair Play team." Cheating and Anti-Cheating regulations have always been the Achilles heal of online chess and this is obviously a very sad way for things to finish.
