Carlsen Wins Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour Finals In Armageddon

Dear all, sincere apology for the delay in the release of the U2200 tournament. This has been due to the corrections of several errors of Fide IDs that were submitted & more were found out after the provisional list was released. Thankfully, we are wrapping up on the few remaining forms & the results will be published tomorrow evening. As such the Unity Management Team has revised the registration forms/process. This will ensure these errors are not repeated in the forthcoming Mega Event & future events. Your Country Representative will advise on the new process of registration.

Regards,
