Magnus Carlsen Vs Wesley So | FTX Crypto Cup - Final Day | Live Coverage lichess.org

Hi guys, back again with a new stream. I will be covering the final day of the finals in FTX Crypto Cup where the top 16 players of the world battle it out in an eleven round tournament. World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen tops the field for the Magnus Carlsen Invitational, the 5th event on the Champions Chess Tour and the 2nd Major. The 3-day preliminary stage sees the 16 players play each other once before the bottom 8 are eliminated while the top 8 advance to a knockout consisting of 2-day matches. The prize fund is $220,000, with $60,000 for top place, while the winner also qualifies to the Tour final in September. The time control is 15 minutes for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move from move 1. The knockout match-ups consist of 4-game matches on the first two days. If the match score is 1:1, two 5+3 games are then played followed, if needed, by Armageddon, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4 but a draw counts as a win for Black. lichess.org Also while you are here, join my discord:   / discord   to talk along!! #chess #meltwater #chesschampionship #topchess #magnuscarlsen #magnuscarlseninvitational #ftxcryptocup
