This is how the World Cup in fischer chess is played. The group stage: The players are divided into two groups. The top two from each group advance to the playoffs. Each match in the group stage consists of two games: A game with white and a game with black – with the same starting position. The time control is 25 minutes for the first 30 moves. The players then get an extra five minutes for the rest of the game – in addition to five seconds per move. Victory gives two points. Draw one. Losses do not earn points. The play-offs: In the play-offs, all eight players meet and will play for 1st place, 3rd place, 5th place and 7th place. Each match in the play-offs consists of four games – with the same time control as in the group stage. The player with the most points wins the match. If there is a tie, it will all be decided in an armageddon match, which is played with a shorter time. The semi-final will be played on Saturday 29 October, while the two best teams will meet in the final on Sunday 30 October. Prize money: The winner of the World Championship in fischer chess secures around NOK 4.2 million. Dissatisfied Carlsen Carlsen was anything but satisfied after the points were shared in the second game. – It was a bad aprti from A to Z, really. I don’t know what was going on. I just have to recover. I have to play better than this, then I will take the points with me, says Carlsen to news. In the next round, Carlsen meets the American chess star Hikaru Nakamura. The first of two games begins at 20:00 Norwegian time. Sued for over a billion The world champion from Norway has had a special charge for the World Cup in fischer chess. Just five days before the championship in Reykjavík, Hans Niemann announced that he is suing Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Play Magnus Group and the website Chess.com for over one billion kroner. The background is the cheating accusations against American Niemann. When Carlsen met news on Monday evening, he spoke for the first time about the lawsuit. – I focus on the chess anyway, and this will not be used as an excuse no matter how things go, Carlsen told news. On Wednesday, the stage is set for an all-nighter with Carlsen and Matthias Blübaum in Reykjavík. The Norwegian and the German will play two games against each other and a total of four games.
