14th XTX Markets London Chess Classic 2024
Mark Crowther - Saturday 7th December 2024
The 14th London Chess Classic sponsored by XTX Markets takes place in the Emirates Stadium Fri 29th Nov to Sat 7th Dec 2024. The field of the Elite round robin was Gawain Jones, Michael Adams, Santosh Vidit, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Nikita Vitiugov, Andrew Hong, Ju Wenjun and Shreyas Royal play. Raunak Sadhwani and Ilya Smirin are the top seeds in the Masters, a 9 round open.
Gawain Jones scored a fine victory with an undefeated 5/7, his round one win against Michael Adams seems especially important in retrospect, Adams tied with Vidit, Vitiugov and Mamedyarov on 4 points in second place.
