The Chessable Masters 2023 will be held from the 3rd of April to the 7th on chess.com. The tournament is the 2nd event of the Champions Chess Tour - a series of elite online tournaments with a prize pool of $2,000,000.

Format
A Play-in event is held on March 13th, where qualifiers will be trying to clinch a spot in one of the three main divisions - 1, 2 and 3. Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, Wesley So, and Fabiano Caruana were seeded directly into division 1 due to their performance in Airthings Masters. The Play-in will be held as a 9-round Swiss tournament followed by a knockout match.

The main tournament is held from 3rd of April to the 7th. In each division, the format is a double-elimination tournament. Division 1 has 8 players, Division 2 has 16 players, and Division 3 has 32 players. In the Winners Bracket, each match is a best-of-4 match. In the Losers Bracket, each match is a best-of-2 match. The winner of the main knockout stage will then face the winner of the Losers Bracket in best-of-4-game Grandfinal. If the contender from the Losers Bracket wins, a three-game tiebreak stage known as the Grand Final Reset will then be held to determine the eventual winner.

Time Control
Time control for the Play-in is 10 minutes for the entire game with a 2-second increment beginning from move 1. Time control for the Main tournament is 15 minutes for the entire game with a 3-second increment beginning from move 1.
