Let’s try and understand the format:
16 players are segregated in group of 4 players. So there are 4 groups in all. The time control is 10+0.
On day 1 we had 4 players who topped the 4 groups and will have a rest day on 30th of July 2025.
The players who topped are:
A group – Levon Aronian
B group – Arjun Erigaisi
C group – Alireza Firouzja
D group – Magnus Carlsen
On day 2 we had 4 more players who joined them:
A group – Ian Nepomniachtchi
B group – Nihal Sarin
C group – Hikaru Nakamura
D group – Nodirbek Abdusattorov
It’s now time for Quarter Finals and Semi Finals:
Arjun Erigaisi vs Ian Nepomniachtchi
Nodirbek Abdusattorov vs Alireza Firouzja
Magnus Carlsen vs Nihal Sarin
Hikaru Nakamura vs Levon Aronian
QF: Best of 4 games with a time control of 10+0 followed by Armageddon.
