The FIDE Grand Prix 2022 was a series of three chess tournaments played between 4 February and 4 April 2022.[1] The top two finishers – Hikaru Nakamura (winner) and Richárd Rapport (runner-up) – qualified for the Candidates Tournament 2022,[2] which was the final qualification stage for the World Chess Championship 2023.
The first and last tournament took place in Berlin, Germany, and the second one in Belgrade, Serbia. Each player was scheduled to participate in two of three tournaments. Before the tie-break stage of the last tournament was concluded, Nakamura had already gained the score to win the series, and it was already clear that no other semi-finalist could overtake Rapport for the runner-up position.
Organization
Due to the travel restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, all three tournaments were initially to be played in a single city instead of playing in various cities as in previous editions.
The series was organized by World Chess. The company chose Berlin to host most of the series following a popular vote.[3][4] Later it was announced that two of the three tournaments would be in Berlin, with one in Belgrade, Serbia.[1]
Players
Twenty-four players were originally invited to the Grand Prix:[5]
- The players who placed third to eighth at the Chess World Cup 2021 who were not World Champion or already qualified for the Candidates. Five out of a possible six players qualified in this way, because World Champion Magnus Carlsen placed third in the World Cup.
- The players who placed third to eighth in the FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament 2021 who were not World Champion or already qualified for the Candidates or Grand Prix. Six players qualified in this way.
- Hikaru Nakamura, nominee of the FIDE president.[6]
- Daniil Dubov, organizer's nominee.[7]
- The remaining eleven places were filled by the top players in the December 2021 rating list[8] so long as they had participated in the FIDE World Cup 2021 or played at least nine games which counted in the FIDE rating lists from February to December 2021. This meant Viswanathan Anand, Wang Hao, and Veselin Topalov were not eligible because of inactivity. The list originally went down to #23 in the world,[1] though after Wei Yi withdrew, world #25 Pentala Harikrishna also qualified this way.
Ding Liren and Dmitry Andreikin were unable to compete in the first tournament due to health and visa issues respectively, and were replaced in the first tournament by Andrey Esipenko and Radosław Wojtaszek.[9] Ding was also unable to play in the second tournament, and Andreikin took his place.[10] Due to personal reasons, Andreikin also withdrew from the third tournament, and was replaced by Esipenko.[11] The replacements Esipenko and Wojtaszek were eligible to qualify for the Candidates.[5]

Format
Each player will play in two out of three of the tournaments. Each tournament will have 16 players, and have a two-stage format.[5]
- In the first stage, the players are divided into four pools of four, and the players in each pool play a double round-robin mini-tournament. The four winners of the pools progress to the second stage.
- In the second stage, the four pool winners play a knock-out tournament, consisting of semi-finals and a final. Both the semi-finals and final will consist of 2 classical time limit games, plus tie-breaks if required.
Players receive Grand Prix points according to their finishing position in each tournament. The two players with the most Grand Prix points qualify for the Candidates Tournament 2022.[5]
Time controls and tie-breaks
The time control for classical games is 90 minutes for 40 moves, plus an extra 30 minutes after move 40. There is also an increment of 30 seconds per move from move 1.[5]
In the pool stage, if there is a tie for first, the tied players play tie-breaks. In the knockout stage, tie-breaks are played if the match is tied after the 2 regular time limit games. In both stages, two-way or three-way tie-breaks take the following format:[5]
- Players play two rapid chess games at 15 minutes plus 10 seconds per move. In the case of a three-way tie, a single round-robin is played.
- If players are still tied, they play two blitz chess games at 3 minutes plus 2 seconds per move. In the case of a three-way tie, a single round-robin is played.
- If players are still tied, a single armageddon chess game is played to decide the winner, in which black is declared the winner if the game is drawn. The time limit is 5 minutes for white, 4 minutes for black, and a 2 second per move increment from move 61. In the case of a three-way tie, lots are drawn to determine the players, and the loser of the lot shares second place with the loser of the Armageddon game.
In the case of a four-way tie, the players are randomly divided into pairs by drawing of lots and each pair plays a two-player tie-break by the above method. The two tie-break winners then play a tie-break by the above method, while the losers share third and fourth place in the pool.[5]
Grand Prix points
Grand Prix points were awarded as follows:[5]
| Round | Grand Prix points |
|---|---|
| Winner | 13 |
| Runner-Up | 10 |
| Semi-final loser | 7 |
| 2nd in pool | 4 |
| 3rd in pool | 2 |
| 4th in pool | 0 |
In other words, the top three players in each pool earn 7, 4, and 2 points, respectively, and 3 additional points are awarded for winning a semifinal or final.
The Grand Prix points for pool placings take into account tie-breaks played to determine first place. Players tied for other places, including players who are still tied after tie-breaks have decided first place, share Grand Prix points.
If players finish tied on Grand Prix points, then the following tie-breaks are applied, in order:[5]
- number of tournament first-place finishes;
- number of tournament second-place finishes;
- number of points scored in regular time limit games;
- number of wins in regular time limit games;
- drawing of lots.
Prize money
The prize money for each event is €150,000 which will be awarded as follows:[5]
| Round | Prize money |
|---|---|
| Winner | €24,000 |
| Runner-Up | €18,000 |
| Semi-finalist | €12,000 |
| 2nd in pools | €9,000 |
| 3rd in pools | €7,000 |
| 4th in pools | €5,000 |
In other words, each player receives €5,000, Grand Prix points earned in the pool are worth an additional €1,000, and Grand Prix points earned in a semi-final or final are worth an additional €2,000.
