Grand Chess Tour Finals 2025
World Trade Center São Paulo
The Grand Chess Tour Finals return this autumn for the tenth anniversary season of the Tour founded by Garry Kasparov in twenty fifteen. The top four players from the five regular season events will battle for a prize fund of one point six million dollars, including three hundred fifty thousand dollars reserved for the Finals. Hosted in partnership with Xeque and Mate under the theme Uniting Minds, the week celebrates life, peace, shared values, and intellectual excellence. Major support comes from the Superbet Foundation and the Saint Louis Chess Club, both nonprofit leaders in global chess education. Join us in São Paulo to witness world class competition and a celebration of chess as a force for the common good.
