The Julius Baer Generation Cup is the next leg of the $1.6M Meltwater Champions Chess Tour and will take place between September 18 and 25.
Some of the world’s top chess stars will compete in this ground-breaking tournament, focused on the clash of ages of its participants.
The tournament marks a fitting return to Julius Baer events for Pragg, the 16-year-old from Chennai.
Pragg won the 2021 Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour and earned qualification for the Champions Chess Tour, where he hit the headlines immediately in February with a memorable win over World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen.
The full line-up for the Julius Baer Generation Cup will be announced at a later date.
Every move will be streamed live and for free on chess24.com/tour and on chess24’s Twitch and YouTube channels.
The inaugural Generation Cup is being put on through a partnership between Swiss private bank Julius Baer and Play Magnus Group.
The Meltwater Champions Chess Tour entertains millions of global fans, showcases the world’s greatest players at the most prestigious online tournaments, and inspires the next generation of fans and players.
