The tournament is a 7-round knockout event, with the top 25 seeds given a bye directly into the second round. The losers of the two semi-finals will play a match for third place.
Each round consists of classical time limit games on the first two days, plus tie-breaks on the third day if required. The time limits will be as follows:
- Two classical time limit games: 90 minutes, plus a 30-minute increment on move 40, plus a 30-second increment per move from move 1, per player.
- If the match is tied after the classical games, players will play two rapid chess games, with 25 minutes plus a 10-second increment per move, per player.
- If the match is still tied, players then will play two more rapid chess games, with 10 minutes plus a 10-second increment per move, per player.
- If the match is still tied, players then will play two blitz games, with 5 minutes plus a 3-second increment per move, per player.
- If the match is still tied, a single blitz game, with 3 minutes plus a 2-second increment per move, will be played to decide the match. A drawing of lots will determine which player plays white. If drawn, the players will switch colors and play again, until a decisive result is obtained.
