The world’s top two chess stars go head-to-head in the Chessable Masters next week – the fourth leg of the $1.6 million Meltwater Champions Chess Tour.

Norway’s World Champion Magnus Carlsen, the current Tour leader and world No.1 for over a decade, returns hoping to shrug off the disappointment of being pipped at the post in the last event.

He will face Ding Liren, China’s No.1, who returns having regained his No.2 world ranking after missing the Oslo Esports Cup.
