The Skilling Open is a 16 player online event. First the 16 players will be cut down to 8 qualifiers by a single round robin. Then, the remaining 8 will play a knockout. The time control is 15+5 for all games. No draw offers are allowed before move 40. The top 8 players also qualify for the next Champions Chess Tour event. The games will be played on chess24.com

The knockout will consist of 2 four-game matches. If a match is tied the tiebreaker will be two 5+3 games followed by an Armageddon game if necessary. If the match score finishes 1-1 the same tiebreaker will be used.
