Format

Matches consist of two games (except for the final, which consists of four). Players have 90 minutes for the first 40 moves followed by 30 minutes for the rest of the game with an addition of 30 seconds per move from the start of the game. If a match is tied after the regular games, tie breaks will be played on the next day. The format for the tie breaks is as follows:

• Two rapid games (25 minutes plus 10 seconds increment).
• If the score is tied after two rapid games, two rapid games (10 minutes plus 10 seconds increment).
• If the score is tied after four rapid games, the opponents play two blitz games (five minutes plus three seconds increment).
• If the score is tied after a pair of blitz games, an armageddon game (in which a draw counts as a win for Black) is to be played. White has 5 minutes and Black has 4 minutes, with an increment of 3 seconds/move starting from move 61.
