A record $2 million prize pot will be on offer in the 2023 season of the Champions Chess Tour—making it the richest and most prestigious annual circuit in chess history. The new season kicks off February 3 with the Airthings Masters; the first of six star-studded tournaments with playoffs before an eight-player finals event in December. With the very best players in the world and a $2,000,000 prize fund, the CCT is Chess.com’s most important event to date.
