Magnus Carlsen heads stellar lineup at the Sinquefield Cup

As the only remaining destination to be part of every Grand Chess Tour since its first edition in 2015, the Sinquefield Cup continues to be an essential element of the GCT circuit. This year’s edition is set to take place on September 2-12 at the Saint Louis Chess Club. Magnus Carlsen heads a star-studded field, which includes eight ‘tour regulars’. The regulars will be fighting for an extra $175,000 in prize money reserved for the three top-ranked players of the series. | Photo: Grand Chess Tour / Lennart Ootes
