The Chessable Masters tournament kicks off tomorrow, May 19th at 6:00 p.m CET. It is the fourth leg of the $1.6 million Meltwater Champions Chess Tour. It is an eight-day rapid online tournament, featuring a $150,000 prize pool with 16 players competing for the top spot. The event will be streamed on Chess24, Twitch, and Youtube.

The tournament should be an interesting one, featuring many of the world’s top names, including world number one, Magnus Carlsen, and number two in the world, Ding Liren. Up and coming teenage phenom Rameshbabu “Pragg” Praggnanandhaa will also make an appearance. Praggnanandhaa will be looking for another standout performance after having beat Carlsen in the 8th round of Airthings Masters earlier this year.
