Starting Wednesday: Qatar Masters with Carlsen, Naka and Giri!

Eight years after two very successful editions of the Qatar Masters, won by Yu Yangyi (2014) and Magnus Carlsen (2015), the extraordinarily strong open is back. Carlsen returns to Doha and is joined by the likes of Hikaru Nakamura, Anish Giri and Dommaraju Gukesh. The tournament will be a 9-round Swiss open, with a $108,250 prize fund up for grabs. | Photo: FIDE / Fischer Random World Chess Championship
