Displate’s exclusive posters have been officially licensed by Chess.com to commemorate the 2023 CCT Finals, the last event of the $2 million 2023 Tour. The CCT Finals is the pinnacle of chess. It features the eight top players of 2023 qualified by performance in a live in-person tournament held in Toronto, Canada, from December 9 to 16.
This year’s event will be the first time the CCT Finals have been held over the board. The winner will be crowned 2023 Tour Champion and pick up the $200,000 first prize, in addition to winnings already earned.
In total, $500,000 is on offer at the Tour Finals. The world number-one Carlsen and the world's top chess streamer, Nakamura, head the lineup. Both qualified for the CCT Finals after winning events on the Tour.
Uzbek sensation GM Nodirbek Abdusattorov is also among the favorites, having won the ChessKid Cup and finished second to Carlsen on the overall Tour leaderboard.
Carlsen, Nakamura, and Abdusattorov are joined by two of America’s top players: the in-form new U.S. champion GM Fabiano Caruana and three-time U.S. champion GM Wesley So. GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave is also enjoying a return to form on Tour, having won the AI Cup by winning two matches against Carlsen to qualify, along with the exciting Iranian-French GM Alireza Firouzja, and the youngest in the field at 17, GM Denis Lazavik.
Each Displate is a thick metal plate with an officially licensed design printed on it. The posters are available in a variety of sizes and hang on the wall with an adhesive magnet and without the need for screws or nails. Capture your piece here.
