The Quarterfinals matchup between Magnus Carlsen and Daniil Dubov turned out to be on for the ages! Magnus was looking for revenge after Dubov knocked him out of the Airthings Masters. Could Dubov do it again? World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen & 15 more elite players compete in the Opera Euro Rapid, the 3rd event on the $1.5 million Meltwater Champions Chess Tour.
Magnus Carlsen, Ding Liren, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian, Alexander Grischuk, Wesley So, Anish Giri, Maxime Vachier Lagrave, Teimour Radjabov, Lenier Dominguez Perez, Hikaru Nakamura, Jan Krzysztof Duda, Vidit Gujrathi, Daniil Dubov, Sam Shankland, and Matthias Bluebaum
The Opera Euro Rapid starts on Saturday, February 6th, and will conclude on Sunday, February 14th which is also on Valentine's day! Once again there’s a 3-day preliminary round-robin stage of rapid chess (15+10) before the top 8 players advance to the knockout stage. The knockout stage is exactly like the previous events in this tour where each match is played over two days, with four rapid games each day. If the match score is tied 1-1 after the second day, the players will then play two 5+3 blitz games followed by, if needed - Armageddon.
