Bucharest's annual classical leg of the Grand Chess Tour — ten elite grandmasters, nine rounds, late May. The opening event of the GCT calendar year.

Wijk aan Zee's January classical festival — the calendar's first super-tournament, two-week classical round-robin, traditionally the strongest field of the year.

Stavanger's annual super-tournament — Armageddon tiebreakers, classical at heart, the only event where every draw is a fight.

The Wijk aan Zee classic — round‑robin, fortnight long, fourteen players, the chess world's annual New Year ritual.
