Magnus Carlsen is the first-ever Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour Champion! ๐๐
After his victory, Magnus said: โI won the war now I want to win the battle as well.โ
So the question remains: can he crown his outstanding year by winning the South African Grand Slam as well? ๐ฟ๐ฆ To do that, he needs to start with taking down World Cup winner Javokhir Sindarov in the semifinals today.

Less than two weeks to go! ๐ Grandmaster Niclas Huschenbeth will be one of the commentators guiding us through the action at the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam 2025 opener. While Niclas didnโt snag the final spot to compete during the online qualifier, he proved himself an exceptional Freestyler in many games. Take this position, for example. Niclas spotted a stunning checkmate in 5 moves, starting with the brilliant Rxh7!! ๐ฅ Can you see the winning sequence? ๐ค Let us know in the comments! โฌ๏ธ๐
