This is the fifth Grand Prix tournament of the 2020-2021 season. The tournament will be held on Lichess.org, and players can register a free chess account to participate. If you wish to participate in the Grand Prix competition, you should select the correct Open Section. 

 

There are two formats for this tournament: Two Swiss Sections (GP) and Two Arena Sections (Non-GP). If it is determined that those players are too experienced for their desired section, the tournament director will place players into appropriate sections.

Grand Prix Section - K-12 Open G/30 - 5 rounds 

(Designed for players with advanced tournament experience and high ratings)

 

Grand Prix Section - K-6 Open G/30 - 5 rounds

Non-Grand Prix Section - Rook Arena - G/15 - 90-minute run time
