Magnus can win his own tournament (Magnus Carlsen Invitational), this is an online tournament with the largest prize pool for this type of tournament, $ 250,000. Its maximum rivals are Caruana, Liren or Vachier. The truth is that the tournament will have the best of the chess world.Carlsen is a real chess machine, and online and blitz is crazy. He had been waiting a few days to hang it but he was busy. I have just seen the semis of the Banter Cup (Dicharachera Cup in Spanish) against Sjugirov, player of almost 2700 (although in blitz it does not reach 2500) and I have seen him meridian.
The tournament will start on April 18, will last two weeks and will feature eight of the best players on the planet, all the games will be shown on Chess24. It will be played at faster rates than usual in live tournaments. They will be 15 + 10 games, that is, 15 minutes per player for the entire game plus 10 seconds of increase per move.
Anyone who does not know him very much can watch his games online in the commented Banter Cup, the Speedchess of years ago (he promotes the competition today) or usually plays tournaments in Lichess on Thursdays. It is true that all are at a faster pace than what is going to be played here but I do not see anyone surpassing it and more with what was seen in the Candidates tournament.
