Ironically, Magnus lost his record of winning Titled Tuesday whenever he plays last night, converting 7/7 into 8/11.

Bit of a shocker with Chess24 be owned too?

Yes, part of the group.

I assume - as the traditional joke goes - they will take the chess from chess24 and the .com from chess.com to create a new company name.
