1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gerard Demuydt, Merijn Van Delft, Yochanan Afek, Bogdan-Daniel Deac, Simon McNamara and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The Chessable Masters has reached the semifinal stages with Ding Liren just qualifying to play Magnus Carlsen this afternoon. Anish Giri and Ian Nepomniachtchi contest the other semifinal. Elsewhere there is over the board chess being played, obviously not nearly as much as there usually is but there is some. Plenty to take a look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

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.

The time control is 45 minutes + 10 seconds a move. Games are played a 7:30pm on a Tuesday on Lichess. There is a 32 team top league - 10 rounds will be played followed by an 8 team knockout final phase to decide the winner. There are 5 divisions of varying strengths - who knows - I may turn up playing in one of the lower sections. Anti-cheating measures are in place. I've added division two games to the updates.
