Live from the World Chess Hall of Fame, the second Kings event is a three-round six-player (listed below) Swiss. Each round consists of three games at semi-classical, rapid, and blitz time controls. Every game is worth money; the player who earns the most money at the end wins! Join GMs Yasser Seirawan & Cristian Chirila, IM Eric Rosen, and WGM Katerina Nemcova for the move-by-move.

This is an upload of the program, as the original broadcast was split.
