2019 Grand Prix Wrapup

After finishing last week's post -- 2019 Grand Prix, Jerusalem -- on the fourth and final leg of the World Chess Championship : 2019 Grand Prix, I added a chart of the official final standings to that page. I also added the names of all 24 players to the cumulative Index of Players for all World Championship events.

I also produced a table showing the cumulative results of the 24 Grand Prix players across all events where they participated. Although it doesn't show the individual matches, it does confirm the relative standings of the players who qualified into the Candidates tournament.

GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (MVL) was the odd man out in the final standings. In an interview with Peter Doggers of Chess.com, he discussed his misfortune along with many other aspects of the current World Championship cycle: Vachier-Lagrave: 'The Road To The Candidates Should Be Equally Tough'.
