1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gerard Demuydt, Mikhail Golubev, Peter Doggers, Merijn Van Delft and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The Magnus Carlsen tour continues with the Chessable Masters with one of the deepest field's in terms of strength so far. Carlsen didn't play so well on the first day of the group stage but looked back to his very best on the second day. In an exciting final round of Group A Hikaru Nakamura and Alexander Grischuk qualified at the expense of Daniil Dubov who was leading until he lost to Carlsen in round 9 and then Nakamura beat him in the last and this combined with Grischuk scoring his first win eliminated him on board count between the three of them. Number two seed Fabiano Caruana still has work to do to qualify from group B on Tuesday.

Nikita Vitiugov beat Jeffrey Xiong in an online four game classical match, something I expected to see more of by now. Classical chess is returning over the board too with some event throughout the world appearing in this issue, but normality seems a long way off. I suspect the best online events will last beyond this crisis but the detection of cheating in a clear and fair way still needs improvement - especially for ordinary players - but this is a real opportunity to fix that.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Chessable Masters 2020

The Chessable Masters takes place 20th June to 5th July 2020. This is part of the Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour. The event follows on from the Lindores Abbey Challenge and has a very similar format - the only tweak is the group stage where the players are split into two groups of 6 rather than play in one group of 12. This means an extra day of play before the knockout phase with groups A and B alternating for the first four days to produce 4 qualifiers each. The field is again very strong with the top 6 in the world competing along with previous finalists Dubov and Nakamura.

Players: Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Alexander Grischuk, Teimour Radjabov, Anish Giri, Hikaru Nakamura, Pentala Harikrishna, Vladislav Artemiev and Daniil Dubov.
