My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, Gert Ligterink, Russell Sherwood, Martin Bennedik and everyone else who helped both with this issue.
The announcement of the Magnus Carlsen Invitational which takes place from the 18th April on Chess24 will surely be the first of many major events taking place online. This is a tremendous start with 8 of the world's top players including Carlsen himself playing a Rapid Round Robin Matchplay followed by a final knockout phase. A few days later the 1st Abu Dhabi Super Blitz Challenge was announced as taking place on the 15th April on Chess.com. Magnus Carlsen plays the semi-final of the Banter Blitz on Chess24 tomorrow against Sanan Sjugirov.
This week's issue has a mixture of online and computer events along with some final catching up with tournaments that took place before the international coronavirus lockdowns. In addition I give the games from the last correspondence world championship, I'll look to add a few more of the very most important events in that area too. A number of events have been moved to the back end of the year, October and beyond, I'm not even sure normal chess will be able to resume then. I think we'll see a lot of interesting events online. I'd like to see a classical tournament tried out - maybe a 6 player 10 round event - just to see the problems and new possilibities such an event might have.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The Magnus Carlsen Invitational is an online tournament hosted by chess24 which takes place April 18th to May 3rd 2020. With over the board chess suspended for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus crisis this is a welcome new event. The concept is one similar to one Carlsen advocated in 2018 for the World Championship - a number of rapid games in one day rather than a single classical game. The format is a Match Round Robin of 8 players meeting each other once over four 15 minute + 10 seconds a move games, if this mini-match is tied 2-2 there will be a single decisive Armageddon game. The top 4 will play in a knockout final stage to decide the winner. The prize fund is $250,000 and a star studded field will compete alongside Carlsen - the remaining players are yet to be announced.
The 1st Abu Dhabi Super Blitz Challenge takes place on 15th April. Nakamura, MVL and Grischuk are among the players already signed up. 11 round swiss followed by 8 player KO to decide the winner.
Chess24 Banter Blitz Cup started on 25th September 2019 and will be completed in April 2020. 128 players started the knockout event which has reached the quarter final stages. Time control 3 minutes a game.
Quarter Final Pairings: Carlsen 9-1 Grandelius, Sjugirov 8.5-5.5 Robson, Firouzja 8.5-2.5 Meier, Narayanan 8.5-6.5 Iturrizaga.
Semi-Finals: Carlsen-Sjugirov (7th April) and Firouzja-Narayanan/

Note that most of these events will not take place now. The big news is the online Magnus Carlsen Invitational. Many of the events left in the calendar for the next months will surely be cancelled. Some European events such as the men's and women's championship have been moved towards the end of the year, still no guarantee they will take place. As an amateur player I think it likely I won't play over the board chess again this year.
