Chess Calendar 2020

Can Magnus Carlsen extend his seven-year reign as World Champion?

That will be the main question of 2020, although first the big question is who will qualify for contention from the Candidates Tournament that begins in mid-March in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

It is also an Olympic year, with this year's celebration in Moscow. Before that, however, the 1920s start with the Women's World Cup, the Tata Steel Chess and the Gibraltar Masters.
