Final

The 2024 Champions Chess Tour concludes with the CCT Finals, held from December 17 to December 21 at Screen Studios in Oslo. This event marks the culmination of a year-long journey, during which the strongest chess players in the world fought to qualify through the tour's four online events.

The format begins with a round-robin stage. The top two round-robin finishers advance directly to the semifinals, while the bottom two are eliminated.

The remaining four players (who finish between third and sixth) move on to the survival stage, a double-elimination knockout. The two winners of the survival stage will then join the round-robin winners in a four-person final single-elimination knockout to crown the 2024 Champions Chess Tour winner.

The time control is 10 minutes for the game, plus 2-second increments per move.
