GRENKE Chess Classic 2019
Mark Crowther - Monday 29th April 2019
The GRENKE Chess Classic took place in two venues, first of all in Karlsruhe for the first 5 rounds before moving to Baden Baden for the final rounds. World Champion Magnus Carlsen, straight off the back of a magnificient 7/9 in the Gashimov Memorial will be hoping to repeat the trick here. Fabiano Caruana faces Carlsen for the first time since their World Championship match last year. Anand, MVL, Aronian, Svidler, Naiditsch, Vallejo Pons, Meier and finally 14 year old Vincent Keymer who earned the right to play in the event by winning the open alongside last year. Magnus Carlsen dominated the event winning with a score of 7.5/9. Carlsen also had a winning position against Viswanathan Anand but he was playing so many long games fatigue hit him in the middle of the event, once he toughed out a win against Georg Meier he then finished with 4/4 in Baden Baden. Fabiano Caruana was within a point going into the final round and secured a clear second place.
