Like in this year's #GRENKEChess , in #NorwayChess too, Carlsen will face his crown challenger in the very 1st round. Caruana has the motive now to fight for a win, as he lost to the #WorldChampion in the blitz game. #altiboxnorwaychess #chessnews
Komodo and Stockfish share the 1-2 places in #TCEC Season 12 - Premier Division after 11 rounds. #Houdini comes close 3rd.
