- Comment: Chess.com is not independent coverage. The Week in Chess looks to be a blog. FIDE is a useful source but notability requires multiple independent, reliable, in-depth sources. — Bilorv (talk) 20:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Format
The format was a single-elimination tournament, with the players seeded by their Chess.com ratings at the start of the event. Each match consisted of 90 minutes of games at a 5+1 time control, 60 minutes of 3+1 games and 30 minutes of 1+1.[7] If the match was tied after the conclusion of the 1+1 segment, four 1+1 games were to be played, and if still tied the match was to be decided by a single armageddon game.[8]
