Shortly after the Superbet Chess Classic will be the Superbet Warsaw Rapid & Blitz, returning with the 2023 Grand Chess Tour. With the help of major sponsor Superbet, Poland continues to cement its place in the super tournaments’ circuit. Like last year, the Superbet Warsaw Rapid & Blitz will feature the tour’s main players along with two local wildcards, and $175,000 in total prize money up for grabs.
Fans should make sure to catch all the action online via the Saint Louis Chess Club’s Twitch & YouTube channels.
