USCF Grand Prix

In general, a tournament must have at least $300 in guaranteed prizes to award "Grand Prix" points.

[2] These prizes provide incentives to grandmasters to play in small regional tournaments which they would otherwise avoid.

The late Grandmaster Igor V. Ivanov won the Grand Prix of chess nine times.

In more recent years, the usual winner had been the late Grandmaster Aleksander Wojtkiewicz.
