Knockout Chess Tournament (Mini World Cup Style)
This is a single-elimination chess tournament designed in the style of a mini World Cup. Players compete in head-to-head matches, and the loser of each game is immediately eliminated from the competition.
The tournament starts with 8, 16, or 32 players, depending on the number of participants. Each round halves the field: quarterfinals, semifinals, and then the final match to determine the champion.
Games are usually played in rapid or blitz format to keep the tournament fast-paced and exciting. Every match matters, as there are no second chances once a player loses.
The winner is the last player remaining undefeated after all knockout rounds.
