The Champions Chess Tour Finals is a 10-player round-robin tournament that will be played online from September 25th to October 4th, on the Chess24 platform. Each player will play a match each day consisting of four rapid games. The winner gets 3 points and the loser 0.

Time control for the rapid games is 15 minutes for the whole game with a 10-second increment from move one.

Tie breaks: If the match score is tied at 2-2, then a blitz playoff is played, with two games where the players have 5 minutes and a 3-second increment. If still tied they play a single Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black. The winner after a playoff gets 2 points, the loser 1.
