LCC 2015 and GCT
2015 winner
Magnus Carlsen |
The 2016 London Chess
Classic will be the eighth
edition of the World's most
prestigious Chess Tournament
and will climax the 2016
Grand Chess Tour.
The
winning formula of elite 10
player all play all, chess
festival, conference and
free school events will take
place once again. The GCT
players and wild cards will
be announced in early March.
The 8th London Chess
Classic will attract players
of all levels to London as
well as chess educators,
spectators, and children
just beginning to learn the
game. I hope that by
publicising the dates to the
chess world over nine months
in advance, other organisers
of chess events will be able
to avoid a clash of dates
which would not be in the
interests of the top players
and the chess public at
large.
The London Chess
Classic will begin with the
Pro-Biz cup on Thursday,
December 8th with round one
beginning the following day.
The tournament concludes on
Sunday 18 December.
