Colors for each match will be drawn at 12:30 CST.

In this second installment of Clutch Chess, the tournament will expand internationally. 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.
