The “chess24 Legends of Chess” online tournament kicks off with a preliminary round, a single round-robin of rapid chess played over nine days. Each matchup consists of four games with a time control of 15 minutes plus increments of 10 seconds. If the final score is 2:2, the winner is decided in Armageddon (White has an extra minute but is obliged to win). A victory, without Armageddon, grants three points, while winning in Armageddon grants two points to the winner and one point to the loser.
The top four scorers move on to the semifinals.
