12th Norway Chess 2024 Games and Results
Mark Crowther (Sun May 26 22:48:00 2024)
The 12th Norway Chess tournament took place in Stavanger Mon 27th May to Fri 7th Jun 2024. Players: Carlsen, Caruana, Ding, Nakamura Praggnanandhaa and Firouzja. If any games were drawn there was an Armageddon played. This year there was also a women's tournament with the same format. Ju Wenjun, Lei Tingjie, Humpy Koneru, Anna Muzychuk, Rameshbabu Vaishali and Pia Cramling played in that.
Magnus Carlsen won the event ahead of Hikaru Nakamura. If conventional scoring had been chosen they would have tied for first and different tie-breaks would have produced different winners (SB vs most wins say). Ju Wenjun beat rival Lei Tingjie on the final day to take clear first in the women's event. The women's results would have been entirely unaffected had standard scoring been used. Read more ....

Mark Crowther (Sun May 19 10:29:00 2024)
The Casablanca Chess tournament takes place May 18th-19th. This is part of the Morocco Chess Week. Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Viswanathan Anand and Amin Bassem play a double round robin rapid. The twist is the "players are given a position from a game that has already been played (or could also be imagined). However, this position must meet several well-defined criteria. First and foremost, the evaluation should be roughly equal (around 0.00, according to engines)." Read more ....
