Tournament info
2019 Moscow Grand Prix is an inaugural event of the 2019-2020 World Chess Championship cycle and the first event in the Series.
Two winners of the Grand Prix Series will win the ticket to the World Chess Candidates Tournament, and eventually a right to face the World Champion in the Championship Match.
The Moscow FIDE Grand Prix is taking place in the Botvinnik Central Chess Club from May 17-29 2019.
Each round consists of two games of classical chess, with a time control of 90 minutes/40 moves + 30 min to the end of the game, with a 30-second increment from move 1.
If the match is tied two 25+10 rapid games are played.
If still tied, there are two 10+10 games, then two 5+3.
Finally a single Armageddon game is played, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4 (with a 2-second increment from move 61) but Black wins the match with a draw.
