Athletistic/ Others. The Candidates Tournament will begin on April 2 in Toronto, Canada. The winner will receive a ticket to the match for the world chess crown against China’s Ding Liren. The 16th world champion, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, has named his favorites.

– I think that the leading roles will be played by the “old men”, mainly Caruana, Nakamura and Nepomniachtchi… The first two are the strongest and most stable players, but we must not neglect Ian, the two times where he played among the contenders, he was “I am well prepared and I won,” Chessopen.ru quotes Carlsen with reference to the podcast Sjakksnakk -med Askild og Odin.

Remember that Ian Nepomniachtchi won the two previous candidates tournaments. However, he was beaten twice in the matches for the world chess crown.
