My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Simon McNamara, Martin Bennedik, Mikhail Golubev, Paco Hernanz and everyone else who helped both with this issue.
The field for the Magnus Carlsen Invitational which starts on Saturday was just as stellar as promised last week. It is Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Anish Giri, Hikaru Nakamura and Alireza Firouzja. In the run up Chess24 have two further events, two Anish Giri training matches, one which he lost to Jorden Van Foreest today and another to Vidit Gujrathi in a few days. Also there is the Pepe Cuenca Invitational blitz which has just seen it's first round, the semi-finals are Svidler-Anton and Artemiev-Duda. On Wednesday there is the final of the Banter Blitz between Carlsen and Firouzja as weel as the 1st Abu Dhabi Super Blitz Challenge. In this issue I have games from the top league of the 4NCL Online competition that started last week. At the end of the month chess.com will host the Sunway Sitges Online International Open with standard time controls, this will be a real test of anti-cheating regulations but with large international opens not likely to resume properly for a long time this could be a very important trial of the fairness of such regulations.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

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.
Magnus Carlsen Invitational field is: Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Anish Giri, Hikaru Nakamura and Alireza Firouzja.
Anish Giri's ironically titled "Secret Training Matches" against Jorden Van Foreest and Vidit Gujrathi ahead of the Magnus Carlsen Invitational take place on April 13th and 16th April at 3pm UK time and are broadcast live on Chess24. Same format as the Invitational - 4 games of 15 minutes plus 10 seconds a move and then a tie-break if needed.

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.
