The organizers of the Meltwater Champions Tour have decided to prioritize the presence of Asian players in the seventh leg of the series. The games at the Goldmoney Asian Rapid will kick off four hours earlier than they did at the FTX Crypto Cup, which means Indian players will start their games at 16:30, while the Chinese participants will start theirs at 18:00.
A four-player contingent from Indian will be featured, with Vidit, Adhiban, Gukesh and Arjun Erigaisi looking to show their best against the likes of Magnus Carlsen, Ding Liren, Levon Aronian, Anish Giri and Wesley So.
The highest-rated player from China, Ding, will be joined by compatriot Hou Yifan, the strongest female player in the world. Hou currently works as a professor at Shenzhen University, but she has shown her strength sporadically since she was awarded that job almost exactly a year ago — for example, the 27-year-old from Xinghua convincingly won the ‘Belt and Road’ online tournament in December last year.
Master Class Vol. 12: Viswanathan Anand
This DVD allows you to learn from the example of one of the best players in the history of chess and from the explanations of the authors how to successfully organise your games strategically, and how to keep your opponent permanently under pressure.
While the previous leg of the event had FTX — a cryptocurrency exchange — as a partner, the seventh tournament of the series will work with Goldmoney. As stated in a press release by the Play Magnus Group, “Goldmoney is the easiest way for people to acquire physical gold and is the world’s most trusted precious metal trader with silver, platinum, and palladium bullion online all available”.
Roy Sebag, CEO of Goldmoney, said:
Chess is a beautiful game which expresses the skill, free will, and intelligence found in human beings. It is a game with a rich tradition spanning at least hundreds of years.
Likewise, gold has a rich tradition as an element of great wonder which has served as the premier form of money for human civilization for thousands of years.
The Goldmoney Asian Rapid will be broadcast live on Norwegian TV station TV 2.
