Here are the rules. We resurrect and time travel some legends of the past and they are all magically 30 years old. Their 30 year old selves are all brought to 2021 and given 5 years to get caught up on modern theory and modern chess in general. All currently living participants are also now magically 30 years old. They are all equally motivated and all of their bills are paid for, so they can devote at least 8 hours per day to study. After the 5 years to get ready, they travel to Wijk Ann Zee for the big tournament in 2026 where they will play a quadruple round robin. (They all play each other 4 times. 2 games as white and 2 games as black). Time control is 90+30 with an additional 40 minutes after move 40.
