1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, John Hartmann, David Navara, Robert Baskin, Kenneth Regan, Richard Palliser, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen is strong favourite now to win Chess24's Legends of Chess event. This is the last event of the Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour before the Magnus Carlsen Tour Final on August 9th. Not only did the organisers manage to get a strong field they got Kasparov, Karpov and Polgar to appear on the broadcasts. Carlsen has won all his matches and has taken the lead against Ian Nepomniachtchi today. Nepomniachtchi needs to win to reach the tour final, if Carlsen wins the 3rd event of 4 it will be Ding Liren who makes the final with Daniil Dubov, Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. It's to be hoped that some solution can be found to Ding's internet problems which seem to centre around him having to connect using a VPN. I ran out of time so there are a few things such as the German Online League that have been held over to next week.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Legends of Chess 2020

The Legends of Chess is the final online qualifier for the Magnus Carlsen tour final in August and takes place July 21st to August 5th 2020. The event has returned to the Match Round Robin format they used in the first Magnus Carlsen Invitational. That is there are 10 players and they play a one day match against each of their rivals for a point in the standing. The Legends name has been translated into inviting former world chess champions Viswanthan Anand, Vladimir Kramnik, former championship challengers Peter Leko and Boris Gelfand along with 8 time Russian Champion Peter Svidler and Vasyl Ivanchuk. Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren qualified as the top four finishers in the Chessable Masters.

Play starts at 3pm BST. 21st-29th July is the Match Round Robin stage from which four players qualify for the semi-finals which take place after the only rest day (July 30th) July 31st-August 2nd. The final then takes place August 3rd-5th. The time control is a rapid 15 minutes plus 10 seconds a move. The venue is the chess24 Playzone.

In the knockout phase Magnus Carlsen made easy work of Peter Svidler winning 2.5-0.5 twice. Ian Nepomniachtchi won the first and third sets while being beaten in the second set by Anish Giri. There seemed to me to be a bit of an edge to this match, nothing wrong in that, and I look forward to further clashes between these players who have such contrasting styles.

3) 53rd Biel Chess Festival 2020

The 53rd Biel Chess Festival took place Saturday 18th July to Wednesday 29th Jul 2020. This was the first major chess festival to take place since the coronavirus crisis. The main event was the Grandmaster Triathlon where the 8 players play at three time controls to decide the final result - Classical: 7 games, - Rapid: 7 games (reversed colors) - Blitz: 14 games (2-way). The players were: Pentala Harikrishna, Radoslaw Wojtaszek, David Anton Guijarro, Michael Adams, Saleh Salem, Romain Edouard, Noel Studer and Vincent Keymer. Alongside was not the normal GM open but just an amateur open with special measures to reduce contact between the players. It will be an interesting event to follow. The tournament kicks off with a Chess960 tournament on Saturday 18th July.

GM Radoslaw Wojtaszek won the combined standings with 28 games, 14 points from the classical section 12 from the rapid and 11 from the blitz for a total of 37 points. 2nd was GM Pentala Harikrishna 28 games 20.5 from the Classical section which he won, 10 from the rapid and only 6 from the blitz for a total of 36.5. 3rd was GM Michael Adams 28 games, 16.5 points from the classical 8 from rapid and 11 from the blitz for a total of 35.5 points.

6) FIDE Online Olympiad 2020

The FIDE Online Olympiad takes place 25th July to 23rd August 2020. There will be various qualifiers until the leading teams start to complete at a much later stage. The format seemed overly complicated to me but the documentation starting with the Base Leagues in this issue seems like it will be excellent. The Base League and now the Fourth Division are both completed with the top finishers moving on to the next stage.
