See You In Saint Louis
Since 2017, the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz has been an integral component of the Grand Chess Tour. This year's tournament is poised to once again deliver the same standards of competition and a tournament location full of grandeur that chess fans have come to know and love. This will be the last rapid and blitz tournament of the tour and the fast-paced rapid and blitz structure is sure to provide a dynamic display of talent and skill, all vying for a piece of the $175,000 prize fund. Live spectators will not be allowed in the tournament hall to watch the daily rounds but fans can watch all the action online or watch the broadcast streaming live at the Saint Louis Chess Club.
