The Grand Chess Tour 2023 is a series of chess tournaments, which is the eighth edition of the Grand Chess Tour. It will consist 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]

Format

The tour will consist 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.[2]

The tour points were awarded as follows:

Place Points
1st 12/13*
2nd 10
3rd 8
4th 7
5th 6
6th 5
7th 4
8th 3
9th 2
10th 1
  • If a player wins 1st place outright (without the need for a playoff), they are awarded 13 points instead of 12.
  • Tour points are shared equally between tied players.
