chess24 Banter Series Final
The chess24 Banter Series Final is a 16-player knockout that sees World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and 7 more of the world Top 10 compete for a $36,000 prize fund and two places on the next Chess Tour. All the players must stream and commentate while they play.
Each match consists of ten 3+2 blitz games, so the winner is the first to reach 5.5 points. If the players are tied 5:5 another pair of 3+2 games is played. If still tied the match will be decided in an Armageddon game (5 vs. 4 minutes with draw odds for Black). Official website: events.chess24.com/banter-series
