My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Gregory Joseph, David Llada, and everyone else who helped with this issue.
Magnus Carlsen made very light work of the Clutch Chess in Saint Louis. Whilst new formats should be tried and tested they very rarely work for me. Gukesh lost heavily to Carlsen, just one draw, and in some of the games he played horribly. Carlsen followed this with a quick one game appearance in the Norwegian League where he defeated Frode Elsness. Gukesh will start to play in the FIDE World Cup in India tomorrow, the first round, the top 50 seeds join in round 2, was largely devoid of major shocks. Young star Faustino Oro was made to work very hard by Ante Brkic before going through in the blitz.
Hope you enjoy this issue.

The FIDE World Cup takes place in Goa, India, Sat 1st to Wed 26th Nov 2025. Players include: World Champion Gukesh, Erigaisi, Praggnanandhaa, Giri, So, Keymer, Wei Yi, Abdusattorov, Mamedyarov, Niemann, MVL, Nepomniachtchi, Le, Rapport, Aronian etc. It is a seven round knockout but the top 50 players only enter the competition in round 2 alongside the 78 winners of Round 1. The top three finishers will qualify for the Candidates tournament although players such as Gukesh and Giri and Caruana don't require this and the extra place will be awarded to "another path" in the qualification system.

The Clutch Chess: Champions Showdown took place in Saint Louis Mon 27th Oct to Wed 29th Oct 2025. Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura and World Champion Gukesh played three days of fast rapid chess (10m+5spm), a double round robin each day, eventually adding up to 18 rounds, Clutch chess is a special scoring system where the points available from each game increased each day from 1 to 2 to 3 with similar increases for draws from 0.5 to 1 to 1.5.
Magnus Carlsen was the runaway winner, the large margin was due to his domination of Gukesh who made huge errors in their games and only managed one draw, there has to be a psychological component to these mistakes as his score was perfectly decent against the other players. Carlsen won all the mini-matches and continues to be better than anyone else. Fabiano Caruana finished second, Nakamura third and Gukesh last. The scoring system didn't change the finishing order of the players in any way.
