Chess Takes Bucharest
In 2019, the Superbet Rapid & Blitz was a new addition to the tour, providing yet another unique location to the tournament line-up. With 9 rounds of rapid and 18 rounds of blitz chess, the tension fighting for a slice of the $150,000 prize fund brought about some heated games full of drama and excitement. It proved a pivotal stop on the tour as one of the four key qualifying spots to the GCT Finals in London.
