1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Oliver Koeller, Arnar Njardarson, Gunnar Bjornsson, Robert Baskin, Etienne Van Leeuwen, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

Magnus Carlsen won his tour final against Hikaru Nakamura but it was an extremely close contest settled by an Armageddon tie-break that could have gone either way. Nakamura showed that his online skills are pretty much undimmed and Carlsen clearly was very frustrated with the problems he set him. Already Chess24 have announced another longer tour starting in November and running well into 2021. I've said many times that we're not getting back to normal any time soon and we will be reliant on chess online to keep us going. The format of the final itself proved to be quite brutal with rapid and blitz taking it out of the players in the long term. The seven set final was supposed to be long enough to produce a clear winner, instead it felt rather unfair to whoever lost because it had been impossible to separate the two players. I thought in general Chess24 got it mostly right in the formats they chose, some people didn't like things like Rook vs Rook in the Armageddon (you could simply declare this drawn after a couple of ply if you really wanted) - but the whole idea of Armageddon is clock based and its aim is to break a tie - not to be particularly edifying or even satisfactory - we've had years of experience of ghastly goings on in these finishes yet they're still used. It had to end and end it did in Carlsen's favour. There will be more online chess from Saint Louis next month. Right now the Online Chess Olympiad is reaching its climax with some very strong players competing and the many of the usual suspects making it to the final eight next week that decides the prizes. Still plenty to look at.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

Mark

2) Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Final 2020

The Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Final took place Sunday 9th to Thursday 20th August 2020. Magnus Carlsen won the final of the event by the closest possible margin against Hikaru Nakamura. On a thrilling final day Carlsen won an Armageddon tie-break. Before that Nakamura came from behind in the rapid and Carlsen had to win the second blitz game to stay in the event. Because Carlsen had the best record in the events he got to choose the colours in the final Armageddon game, he chose black and draw odds and did indeed draw quite comfortably.
