The 10-day, team-format chess league features unquestionably the strongest line-up in UK chess history, including former world champions Magnus Carlsen and Viswanathan Anand. In total, 36 of the world’s elite will descend on the capital to do battle over 10 days in this unique team format event.   

Play will take place at Friends House (173-177 Euston Rd., London NW1 2BJ) located in the heart of central London, from Thursday 3rd October to Saturday 12th October. [click here to see the full match schedule]

The Tech Mahindra Global Chess League will feature six teams composed of six players per team, (see team line-ups here), with each team consisting of one “iconic player”, at least two female players, and one U-21 player in each team (see team line-ups below). 

The preliminary tournament (Game Days # 1-9) will be a double all-play-all, with the two teams with the most match-points qualifying to the final (being held on Saturday 12th October – Game Day # 10).

The time control for all games will be 20 minutes for each player without increment.

Nice event

Nice event, nice playing hall. Just that the break between the first and the second match was too long.

Not too much fun

It wasn't easy to follow what happening and the chess games on screens were not visible properly.
Also, some seats were blocked in the general public sides which were not used at all.

Very nice event can improve fan experience

I like idea of the league and marketing teams- venue was very good and exciting to follow games. As a fan we want to see the players and get autographs but very difficult for many of us…could reserve a space for autographs/lining up to make it easier

Enjoyed the experience need some shake up in the format

I really enjoyed the experience of watching the match and highlight was to have meet and greet with the players.

I'd recommend two changes
1. Team names - right now team names are not catchy and does not resonate.
2. Play format - there should be an element of surprise, so people are not fixed on their boards. I'd recommend both teams submit their team sheets, like in Football, who is playing and on which board, so players are not preparing specifically for opponent.

Rest it was a great experience, would have liked to meet Magnus but that couldn't happen :(
