GMs Magnus Carlsen, Jose Martinez, Vladimir Fedoseev, and Denis Lazavik won their matches on day three of the 2024 Champions Chess Tour Chessable Masters to stay in the Winner’s Bracket.

In a day of upsets in Division I, Martinez played the Game of the Day against two-time World Championship Challenger GM Ian Nepomniachtchi and won the match 3-1.

Day four begins on Saturday, February 3, starting at 11 a.m. ET / 17:00 CET / 9:30 p.m. IST.

Division I Bracket

The rest of the tournament will be the Division phase, which will feature a double-elimination bracket in all three divisions. Eight players duke it out in Division I, 16 in Division II, and 32 in Division III. 

Division I

Martinez continues his inspirational run by defeating world number-seven Nepomniachtchi, with two wins and zero losses. The very first game featured a Petrosian king march—as his king ran across the entire board away from danger—and it finished with a checkmate on the board.
