The Tech Mahindra Global Chess League 2024 takes place October 3-11 in London, showcasing fast chess played among six teams for a $1 million prize fund.

The Tech Mahindra Global Chess League (GCL) is the world’s first and largest official franchise chess league. The term franchise league refers to a professional sports league where teams (franchises) are privately owned and operated as individual businesses under the league's umbrella. With the Indian Premier League (IPL) in cricket or the National Football League (NFL) in American football as successful examples, the GCL is an avenue for chess to become even more popular.

The Indian multinational information technology services company Tech Mahindra is the main sponsor behind the league and works together with the International Chess Federation (FIDE) to promote chess further, with innovative formats and technologies. Eventually, the teams should be sharing revenue from sources like broadcasting deals, sponsorships, and ticket sales.

Each team should have at least two women and at least one player born in 2003 or later. The team composition, with a fixed board order, is as follows:

  1. Highest rated player ("icon")
  2. Male player
  3. Male player
  4. Female player
  5. Female player
  6. A player who is 21 years old or younger

Hi

Ross_D2012

Magnus is very good player but individually, maybe not that much of a team player. So either trivenni or alaskan knights will win. Mumba masters may also win.
