Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
Each of the 10 rounds consists of a classical game, with a time control of 2 hours for all moves, with a 10-second increment per move only after move 40.
In Armageddon, White (the same player who had White in the classical game) has 10 minutes to Black’s 7, with a 1-second increment from move 41. Black wins if the game ends in a draw.
A tie for first place will be decided by two 3+2 blitz games followed, if necessary, by an Armageddon game (White gets 5 minutes to Black’s 4).
