The next tournament from the Meltwater Chess Championship 2022 – Oslo Esport Cup has started today and as customary, you will be able to follow all of the action on our website following this link.

The third tournament from the most popular online chess tournament is the first Major tournament this year, as stated by the Meltwater Champions organisers. The format of the tournament will be different than the Airthings Masters and the Charity Cup and will include 7 days of games where all players will play in a Round-Robin format where each match will consist of four rapid games. As usual, some of the best chess players in the world will participate, with the line-up including the World Champion GM Magnus Carlsen and the rising start GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda.

The world champion and arguably best chess player to have ever lived GM Carlsen is looking to finish the first Triade of the tournaments with a perfect 3/3 as he managed to beat GM Duda and GM Ian Nepomniachtchi in the finals of Airthings Masters and Charity Cup. His first game will be against the Polish GM on 22/04/2022.
