The Clutch Chess Champions Showdown International takes place Saturday, June 6 - Sunday, June 14, 2020 for a prize fund of $265, 000. This online event is double the size of the original event with just players from the USA last week. Players: Magnus Carlsen, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Leinier Dominguez, Alexander Grischuk, Levon Aronian, Fabiano Caruana, Wesley So and Jeffery Xiong.

The format created by Maurice Ashley awards the normal points in a 12 game match (time control 10 minutes plus 5 seconds a move) but doubles these for games 5 and 6 at the end of day 1 and trebles them for the final games 11 and 12.
