Eight of the world's top chess players will battle online from Saturday, June 6 - Sunday, June 14, 2020 for an extraordinary $265K in prize money - the largest prize fund ever offered for an online chess event. As players compete, it becomes clear that Clutch Chess tests a player’s ability to perform under pressure in the most critical phases of a match. This allows drama until the very end; a player who is trailing significantly still has a chance to come back until the very end.
Format Clutch Chess: 8-Player Knock-out Tournament
Time control G/10+5
Prize Fund $265,000
Players will be seeded and paired for individual quarterfinal matches based on their FIDE rapid rating. Since Clutch Chess is a knockout tournament, players who fail to win their match are eliminated from the competition, while players who win their match advance to the next stage of competition.
