The first Major of the Champions Chess Tour
The Champions Chess Tour is the successor to the Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour. It consists of 10 events taking place over 10 months, with the prize fund rising from $1 million to $1.5 million. Six Regular tournaments, three Majors and the Finals will be played from November 2020 until September 2021.
Wesley So won the first event of the series by defeating Magnus Carlsen in a thrilling final match played on the world champion’s 30th birthday. Since the eight players who qualified to the knockout stage of the previous tournament automatically get a ticket in the next event, both Carlsen and So will meet again in the first Major of the series.
