^{Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes! A rating in Italic indicates that this player is in "danger" of changing tiers! After this round no changes in rating&performance as bullet ratings don´t matter.}
For the detailed rules please refer to the announcement post.

No big changes this time. Just 2 rounds to go and the ones who participate more often clearly have a strong advantage to win prizes later. E.g. in tournament 2 and 3 it seems that only 3 players are interested to make it to the podium.

See you all next week - and keep practicing!

If I would have known earlier, this round would have been a Chess960 one, because yesterday also the FREESTYLE CHESS G.O.A.T. CHALLENGE started, a Fischer Random chess tournament with a classical time control located in a German luxury resort in Weissenhaus, at the Baltic Sea!

The 8 players in the event are no less than Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Ding Liren, Alireza Firouzja, Vincent Keymer, Nodirbek Abdusattorof, Dommaraju Gukesh and Levon Aronian. Excitement is guaranteed!

After day 1 of the play-in round robin the local hero Vincent Keymer took down Magnus Carlsen and leads with 3,4/4 and Ding Liren lost all his games, more info here.
