Champions Chess Tour Finals 2024
Mark Crowther - Sunday 22nd December 2024
The Champions Chess Tour Finals took place Dec 17, 2024 – Dec 21, 2024 in Oslo, Norway over the board rather than via a server. 8 players compete: Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Wesley So, Denis Lazavik, Vincent Keymer and Levon Aronian. The event starts with a Round Robin mini-match stage, these are two games matches with an Armageddon (times decided by bidding), if tied. There was then a final chance in the Survival Stage for players placed 3rd-6th in the Round Robin. Ian Nepomniachtchi beat Denis Lazavik in the Winners final to take one place. MVL beat Vincent Keymer and then Lazavik who had a second chance, in the Losers final. This meant the semifinal lineup was decided as Magnus Carlsen vs MVL (Carlsen got to choose his semifinal opponent after winning the RR) and Alireza Firouzja vs Ian Nepomniachtchi. Magnus Carlsen won the event defeating MVL 3.5-1.5 in the Semifinal and Nepomniachtchi 4-1 (winning the first two games) in the final. Nepomniachtchi had defeated Firouzja 3.5-0.5 in the other semifinal. It's going to be very interesting to see how Carlsen does in the World Rapid and Blitz in just under a week in New York, he seems practically unplayable at fast time controls right now.
