Titled Tuesday on October 13 is Chess.com's weekly 11-round Swiss-system blitz event open to titled players, with a $10,000 prize fund and tiebreaks via Buchholz Cut 1 determining final order. Recent editions highlight a deep field of specialists, with Vladislav Artemiev claiming the October 6 title on 9.5/11 ahead of Alexander Grischuk and Alexey Sarana after defeating Hikaru Nakamura in the final round. Nakamura, fresh off setting a site blitz rating record near 3503, has shown strong but inconsistent results. Other frequent contenders include Sina Movahed (multiple 2026 wins), Alireza Firouzja, Denis Lazavik, Wesley So, Arjun Erigaisi, and Hans Niemann, whose participation and recent form shape implied probabilities for top-8 placement. The format rewards sustained scoring across the field rather than single upsets.
