Norway Chess Tournament 2018 and Poikovsky Karpov Tournament

There is a lot to watch for in the Norway Chess Tournament. Carlsen and Caruana are both playing, giving us a preview of their upcoming match. Anand finds himself in the unfamiliar position of being the bottom seed. Will he return to the top 10?

The Poikovsky Karpov tournament features a strong field with 5 members of the 2700 club. Gelfand no longer belongs to that group - will he stage a comeback? Nepomniachtchi is occasionally found in the top 10 lists. It's not impossible for him to return, but he would have to score very well for that to happen in this tournament.
