Here are the standings at the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour event in Weissenhaus after five rounds on the opening day: Here’s Gukesh Dommaraju’s schedule for the second day of the opening Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tournament in Weissenhaus: Round 6: Fabiano Caruana Round 7: Vincent Keymer Round 8: Vladimir Fedoseev Round 9: Magnus Carlsen The highlight of the second day’s action in Weissenhaus, of course, will be the much-awaited showdown between reigning world champion D Gukesh and world No 1 Magnus Carlsen. Gukesh had expressed his desire to test himself against Carlsen after being crowned world champion, and his wish is set to be fulfilled today. What makes the upcoming contest even spicier is the fact that Carlsen had been critical of his victory over Ding Liren in the World Championship, questioning the quality of the match.

Looks like the 18-year-old Indian GM has the perfect opportunity to prove the five-time world champion wrong. The second day’s schedule at the Weissenhaus Private Nature Luxury Resort includes the remaining four rounds in the Round-Robin Stage – one less than the number of rounds that had taken place on Friday, the opening day.
