Carlsen is leading the Online Invitation LIVE

[Chessqueen]

Firouzja is impressive. He played in the Master's group at Wijk aan Zee earlier this year, and only came in the middle of the standings, but that was against a group of super-grandmasters.

Can Nepomniachtchi beat MVL take a look at the LIVE Game?

GM Giri is not used to play online or he is on bad Norm for all this time since the invitational started ?

Nice Giri upset, Magnus made on of his very rare blunders.

Here is a daily afershow broadcast I came across with GM Pascal Charbonneau.

There are now many online tournaments. How is cheating with engine prevented? I think is impossible.

It could be hard, but Don't they use an extra camera for the arbiter to constantly watch the entire room and if they see a cell phone or another electronic device where a friend could be sending them the best move then could be disqualified immediately.

PS: Was Bobby Fischer better than Firouzja at the age of 16 ? https://en.chessbase.com/post/magnus-ca ... -2020-live
