Finals - Day 2

The last ‘regular’ tournament of the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour, the Aimchess US Rapid, is taking place from August 28 to September 5.

The knockout matchups consist of 4-game matches on the first two days. If the match score is 1-1, two 5+3 games are then played followed, if needed, by Armageddon, where White has 5 minutes to Black’s 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black.

The time control is 15 minutes for all moves, with a 10-second increment from move 1. No draw offers are allowed before move 40.
