For playing conditions, the Tata Steel organizers will follow the model of Norway Chess, meaning that there will be no plexiglass placed over the board, and face masks won't be mandatory during play. Instead, the tables will be a bit wider to provide more distance between opponents, and the distance between the tables will be increased as well.
Time control : 100 minutes for 40 moves followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from move 1.
The event's format is 14-player round robin.
