Will Ian Nepomniachtchi be able to Challenge World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen?

Important Round 6 Result from the Isle Of Man Chess Tournament

World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen, defeated Alexei Shirov, 1-0.

It is extremely difficult to find out anything on the website.

Report on Round 4 at the Isle of Man Chess Tournament

FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss: Round 4 Report

https://iominternationalchess.com/

John Saunders reports: after four rounds of the 2019 FIDE Chess.com Grand Swiss at the Comis Hotel, Isle of Man, the leadership has swelled to four players: Fabiano Caruana (USA), Wang Hao (China), Luke McShane (England) and Parham Maghsoodloo (Iran) all have 3½ from a possible 4 points.

I hope that Magnus Carlsen will rise to the top. He is my favorite.
