The upcoming World Chess Championship will take place from 09 to 28 November 2018 in London. Magnus Carlsen (Norway) defends his title against Fabiano Caruana after the 25-year-old Italian-American won the candidate tournament in Berlin. But all chess fans get a taste of this duel just a few days after Caruana’s triumph, because the current superstars of the scene meet at the GRENKE Chess Classic.
At the press conference after his victory in the last round in Berlin against Alexander Grischuk, Caruana was already very self-confident: “We’re going to actually play at the Grenke Classic in a few days, so hopefully I’ll send a message there!”. Whether the duel will take place in Karlsruhe at the beginning or in Baden-Baden in the second half, however, is not yet clear, as the pairings will be drawn one day before the start of the tournament.
In addition to Carlsen and Caruana, three other players are the favourites for the tournament victory. It will be interesting to see if Levon Aronian (Armenia), after his disappointing performance at the candidate tournament, can muster the strength to repeat his success at the GRENKE Chess Classic last year. Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (France) and former world champion Viswanathan Anand (India), on the other hand, will start the race fully rested.
The field of participants with ten world-class grandmasters is completed by Nikita Vitiugov (Russia), Arkadij Naiditsch (Azerbaijan), the world’s strongest chess player Hou Yifan (China), Georg Meier (Germany) and Matthias Blübaum (Germany).

Yifan should have won that game.
If they have a kid, Stockfish is in trouble
Ok so: who won? ( I mean: MC was white?) and also: what was the mistake made by Yifan?
Yifan didn't say much.
Lots of respect of Hou Yifan . Also, please bring back Tania Sachdev. She was great reporting for Grenke in previous years.
Unfortunately the audio isn't good. Most if it is unintelligible.
I feel a bit sorry for Hou here. It must be very difficult competing in a game dominated by men at the best of times. But when you're in a post game analysis with someone who's just beaten you, and who is the best player in the world – what exactly can you say? I'm sure a lot of us have been in a similar situation where we know we had some good ideas but were fearful to express them.
These two will make a great couple …lighter note 🙂
Magnus seems to be in a lot more enthusiastic mood recently, and it’s pretty refreshing
Magnus' hair is on point.
Pls bring back Tania sachdeva ..She was awsm..
It's really nice battle between world
Chess king Vs Queen
Passionnant !!
I disliked because Yifan was ignored for most of the video. I love Magnus, but c'mon. It's a two player game.
2:47 love that reaction of magnus.
Great interview by Peter, very professional. Just about chess, no superfluous comments or irrelevant questions.
2:47 precise moment when Magnus falls in love with Hou Yifan 😉
Starting at 2:33
I'm sure Magnus was trying to make fun of them. Or maybe it was a bet, that he comes through with Nh5. But he never ever would have missed such a simple tactic!!
Is it just me or does Magnus look like Matt Damon here?
It's like feeling uncomfortable
Hahahahahaa
Rather then analyzing they should have gone on DATE
3:08 "-This is nothing special, like…-But I was quite impressed by Rd1, because I thought that…- Yeah, you kind of wanna…- Yeah-"
Sure.
Hou Yifan whisper is so feminine.
I like it when yifan said she preferred playing men rather then women
Yeap. 02:47 was the best moment of the video. So cute
