The top four American players will play from Tuesday, May 26 - Friday, May 29, 2020 in a new knockout format called "Clutch Chess", created by Grandmaster Maurice Ashley, commentator, author, and chess innovator.
Clutch Chess will begin with two semifinal matches of twelve games played over two days, with the winners advancing to the finals. Games 1-4 and 7-10 of the matches will be scored using the traditional method of 1 point for a win and half a point for a draw. Games 5, 6, 11 and 12 - the final two games each day - are worth extra points and bonus prize money for a decisive result. The new scoring system means that a match isn’t over until the very end; with six points available in the last two games, anything can happen.
The games will be played with a time-limit of 10 minutes for the whole game and 5 seconds increment per move.
