2019 Winter Chess Classic
The 2019 Winter Chess Classic is the fourth and final "Classic" tournament of the year featuring international chess professionals. The Winter Chess Classic is comprised of two 10-player Round Robin tournaments. Over the course of 10 days, these competitors will battle for more than $30,000 in prize money and gain valuable experience in top-level events.
The Classic Series here at the Saint Louis Chess Club was created so strong international masters and grandmasters could participate in classical round robin tournaments in which to test their mettle against players of similar levels and to learn from these experiences.
