ACP Tour 2022

Dear Colleagues,

We are announcing the ACP Tour 2022!

After a hiatus due to the pandemic, when barely any tournaments took place, the ACP Tour will return this year.

The ACP Tour encompasses the world's strongest and most important tournaments, including round-robins (like Wijk aan Zee for example), knock-outs and opens. Our Premiums obtain points based on their results in these events and at the end of the year we will have the winners. Check the complete Tour information, including past winners, here.

This year we guarantee three prizes for the Tour: 1000, 600 and 400 euros.

Apart from the prizes, it is important to know that the ACP Tour serves as qualification for two of the qualification events for the Candidates Tournament: the Grand Swiss and the World Cup.

The winner of the Tour obtains a spot in the Grand Swiss or the World Cup, depending on his/her choice! The second-placed player will get the spot for the other event.

The only pre-requisite to join the Tour is to be an ACP Premium. A short reminder how to become one: check our page for the details, or if you want to renew your membership feel free to use our PayPal address paypal@chessprofessionals.org or use our bank account details.

Please note that all of the above is valid also for the ACP Women Tour, provided we have at least 20 women Premiums.

We wish you a successful tournament season!

Best,

The ACP Board
