Grenke Chess Classic

The tournament returned in 2024 after a five-year hiatus with a new rapid time control (45+10) to replace the previous classical format.

It was a single Round-robin tournament, and two spots were provided for the players to win entry into the next edition of 2015.

[5] Among the participants were Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Viswanathan Anand and Levon Aronian.

The winner was Magnus Carlsen, who eventually won a five-game tiebreak with Arkadij Naiditsch with a score of 3–2 (two rapid, two blitz and one armageddon game).

[2] The format was also changed into a double Round-robin tournament (2 games with reversed colors against each player), followed by playoffs to decide places 1, 3 and 5.
