The Grand Chess Tour 2023 was a series of chess tournaments, which was the eighth edition of the Grand Chess Tour. It consisted of five tournaments with a total prize pool of US$1.4 million, including two tournaments with classical time control and three tournaments with faster time controls.[1][2]

Format

[edit]

The tour consisted of five tournaments, two classicals and three rapid & blitz, respectively. Rapid & Blitz tournaments consisted of two parts – rapid (2 points for win, 1 for draw) and blitz (1 point for win, 0.5 for draw). Combined result for both portions was counted in overall standings.[3]

The tour points were awarded as follows:

Place Tour Points Classical
prize money		 Rapid & Blitz
prize money		 GCT Tour
bonuses
1st 12/13* $100,000 $40,000 $100,000

  • If a player wins 1st place outright (without the need for a playoff), they are awarded 13 points instead of 12.
  • Tour points and prize money are shared equally between tied players.

Lineup

[edit]

The field was announced on February 22, 2023. It consisted of nine players, including both participants of World Chess Championship 2023, eventual winner Ding Liren and runner-up Ian Nepomniachtchi, as well as defending Grand Chess Tour champion Alireza Firouzja.[4][5][6]

The events in St. Louis took place during the months of November and December, compared to the previous editions where they took place during the months of August and September. The change was implemented to avoid scheduling clashes with the 2023 Chess World Cup and the 2023 FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament.[7]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b Nepomniachtchi is Russian, but plays under the FIDE flag due to FIDE banning Russian and Belarusian flags from FIDE-rated events in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]
  2. ^ Ding withdrew before the Poland Rapid and Blitz event took place, citing fatigue. As a result of this change, Levon Aronian was chosen as a wildcard to replace him for the event.[10]
  3. ^ Jan-Krzysztof Duda withdrew from the Sinquefield Cup after round 1 due to illness; his round 1 result was not counted towards the standings.
