El torneo es un cerrado a una vuelta con 10 jugadores, con un control de tiempo clásico de 90 minutos para las primeras 40 jugadas, más 30 minutos para el resto de la partida, con incrementos de 30 segundos desde la primera jugada.
El evento cuenta con una bolsa de premios de 475.000 dólares, con 100.000 dólares reservados para el ganador. También se otorgarán puntos para el Grand Chess Tour.
Las rondas se juegan diariamente del 14 al 23 de mayo, excepto el martes 19 de mayo, único día de descanso. De la primera a la octava ronda, la acción comienza a las 15:00 hora de Madrid. La novena y última ronda comienza dos horas antes de lo habitual.
You will learn how Black's dynamic piece activity and structural counterplay more than compensate for White's extra tempo in the colour-reversed setups. The Benoni family of openings has toppled world champions, decided match games under the highest pressure, and rewarded those brave enough to play them with some of the most electrifying chess imaginable. In this Fritztrainer, Grandmaster Ivan Sokolov - continuing his successful series "Understanding Middlegame Structures" - takes you deep inside the complexities of the Colour-Reversed Benoni, the Colour-Reversed Benko Gambit, and the Colour-Reversed Blumenfeld Gambit.

In this video course experts examine the games of Bent Larsen. Let them show you which openings Larsen chose, where his strength in middlegames were, how he outplayed his opponents in the endgame & you’ll get a glimpse of his tactical abilities! Bent Larsen (1935–2010) was the greatest chess player in Danish history, and for a time, the second-strongest player in the Western world behind Bobby Fischer. Between 1954 and 1971, he won the Danish Championship six times, and achieved numerous international tournament victories throughout his career.

29/04/2026 – La lista de participantes del Grand Chess Tour 2026 se ha modificado poco antes del inicio de la serie de torneos en mayo. Gukesh Dommaraju se ha retirado como «jugador regular» y Javokhir Sindarov ha sido nombrado como su reemplazo. De cualquier manera, los próximos contendientes al Campeonato Mundial se enfrentarán en la primera etapa a jugarse en Polonia. Levon Aronian se perderá el evento de Bucarest debido a una enfermedad y Jorden van Foreest (en la imagen) lo reemplazará como «jugador regular» del tour. | Foto: ChessBase / Nils Rohde
King’s Indian fans who choose the Mar del Plata attack (7...Nc6) against White’s classical system (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0) usually aim for a complex position with mutual attacks on open wings, requiring long-term strategic planning and tactical sharpness in critical moments. Computers often do not know how to handle the arising complex strategic positions, which suits players who like to think on their own instead of memorizing long variations. However, the fashionable Bayonet Attack (9.b4) interferes with Black’s ideas. After Black’s main move 9...Nh5 the positions opens, the lines get forced and computer analysis is important again. But this DVD offers an antidote against White’s Bayonet Attack, namely 9...a5! This move leads to sound positions with very few concrete lines, in which the focus is on strategy not on tactics. Objectively chances are equal but if Black knows what to do things might quickly become dangerous for White.
