Held from August 27 to September 7, it was a double round-robin tournament.
It was the strongest chess event ever held on U.S. soil. The original chess set used in the tournament had a 3.75" King height. The players competed for a $100,000 top prize. The highlight was Fabiano Caruana’s dominant performance, defeating Carlsen and winning the coveted Sinquefield Cup.
