All: The 4th and final leg of the Freestyle tour starts tomorrow in Las Vegas. 16 players, including Carlsen, Fabi, Hikaru and Keymer. I now see that Gukesh has dropped out. (Freestyle really isn't his thing.) In terms of Indians: Arjun, Pragg, and Vidit. And Hans Neimann qualified. So that could be interesting.
A quick note on the format: The qualifications are rapid (10+10). And then the "main" event is 30+30, though they are calling it Classical. (IMO 30+30 is not really Classical, but Buettner thinks this time control will bring in more fans. He's probably right.)
