Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour

The Chessable Masters event is currently ongoing and you can follow all of the live action over at Chess24.

We can’t all reach the top of the chess world and play in such elite events. Today, however, it is time to take your place at the chess board and imagine you have a golden opportunity to beat the world’s best players in the Chessable Masters event.

Some positions are trickier than others and, to keep you on your toes, they are not necessarily arranged in order of difficulty.
