The European Hybrid Qualification Tournament 2021 for the FIDE World Chess Cup 2021 will take place from 22nd-30th May through Tornelo online platform. The total prize fund for the event is 32 000 eur.

The provisional list of participants for the European Hybrid Qualification Tournament has been published. 264 players (160 GMs) from 35 European federations are registered with the most players coming from Russia (40), Czechia (17), Germany (14), and Armenia (13). Among the top 10 players by rating we find seven Russians – GM Artemiev, GM Tomashevsky, GM Esipenko, GM Alekseenko, GM Predke, GM Matlakov, and GM Fedoseev. The other three players are GM Navara (Czechia), GM Gelfand (Israel), and GM David Anton (Spain).

The final number of players will not exceed 288, so the preliminary round scheduled for 22-23 May will be omitted. The tournament starts on Monday, May 24, and the pairing tree for all rounds will be announced by May 17, after confirming that venues meet all conditions.

Tournament director is Petr Pisk and chief arbiter is Panagiotis Nikolopoulos.
