Haha! Very cool!
On another note I was pleasantly surprised to see Giri isn't going to be involved in the Grand Tour this year. Nepo instead. It's good to keep it fresh and looking at the other guys, Giri was clearly expendable...
Magnus Carlsen and Wesley So, the world number one and two in the live ratings, will be playing the 2017 Grand Chess Tour. Vladimir Kramnik could not play in all events and therefore had to decline.
In a press release on Tuesday the Grand Chess Tour organizers announced the nine main participants of this season, and the tournaments they wil play. Besides Carlsen and So, they are Hikaru Nakamura, Ian Nepomniachtchi, Fabiano Caruana, Sergey Karjakin, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Viswanathan Anand, and Levon Aronian.
