Kicking off the 2023 Grand Chess Tour will be the Superbet Chess Classic held in the historic city of Bucharest, Romania. Following last year's popular classical framework, the tournament features ten players in a round-robin fighting for their share of the hefty $350,000 prize fund. This will be the first of two classical events in the tour, and the participants’ first chance to earn points on the tour.
Fans should make sure to catch all the action online via the Saint Louis Chess Club’s Twitch & YouTube channels.
