Aimchess US Rapid

World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen is back for the Aimchess US Rapid, the 9th and last event on the $1.6 million Meltwater Champions Chess Tour before September’s Finals. Six players are already confirmed for the Finals, but Vladislav Artemiev, Liem Quang Le, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Alireza Firouzja can still book themselves a place at the expense of Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who plays, and Hikaru Nakamura, who doesn’t.

The US angle will see 7 of the 16 players competing from North America, including strong grandmasters and leading streamers Daniel Naroditsky and Eric Hansen.
