The 2021 Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Finals is a 10-player round-robin taking place from September 25 to October 4 on chess24, with World Champion Magnus Carlsen, World Cup winner Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Dutch no. 1 Anish Giri playing from a venue in Oslo. The players start with bonus points based on their performance over the $1.6 million tour so far and then play a match each day for a maximum of 3 points. The top scorer after 9 rounds wins $100,000 and is crowned the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour champion.
Each match features four rapid games with a time control of 15 minutes for all moves plus a 10-second increment added each move. The winner gets 3 points and the loser 0. If tied 2:2, then a blitz playoff is played, with two games where the players have 5 minutes and a 3-second increment. If still tied they play a single Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black. The winner after a playoff gets 2 points, the loser 1.

Simply not fair. Hirohito is a true ambassador of the game, Magnus couldn't amaze and contribute to making the game popular like Hikaro has, if he tried. Ultimately chess players will be ranked by instinct and that means never before seen positions and very fast games. As such Hikaro, is both the greatest ambassador and player of chess, of all time. So i think its overdue that younshow a game where Hikaro has Magnus for breakfast. Even that cheap prepared trick with the knight fork Hikaro managed to overcome. More Hikaro!
