Champions Showdown Chess 9LX 2024
Mark Crowther - Wednesday 30th October 2024
The Champions Showdown Chess 9LX took place in Saint Louis 28th to 30th October 2024. Players: Garry Kasparov, Hikaru Nakamura, Fabiano Caruana, Leinier Dominguez Perez, Levon Aronian, Ray Robson, Samuel Sevian, Sam Shankland, Grigoriy Oparin and Wesley So. This was a rapid Fischer Random (Chess960 or 9LX as styled here) tournament and is the last event Kasparov regularly plays in. Kasparov had a decent plus score in 2021 to a terrible 0.5/9 in 2022 and the only slightly better 3/9 last year so the challenge was on for him.
Fabiano Caruana took clear first place with 7.5/9 half a point clear of Hikaru Nakamura with Wesley So in 3rd on 5.5 points. Kasparov finished on 50% with a very respectable result which could have been even better had he taken a couple of cast iron opportunities.
