FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament 2019

The FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament 2019 was a chess tournament that forms part of the qualification cycle for the World Chess Championship 2020. It was played on October 10 to 21 2019, on the Isle of Man. This was the first time that a tournament of this type was used as a qualifying tournament for the Candidates Tournament. 
Wang Hao and Fabiano Caruana shared first place, with Wang Hao winning on tie breaks and thereby qualifying for the 2020 Candidates Tournament. Of the players who shared third place, Kirill Alekseenko had the best tie break and became eligible for the Candidates wild card as the next-highest placed non-qualifier, as Caruana had already qualified for the 2020 Candidates by virtue of being the runner-up in the 2018 World Championship. Alekseenko was later selected as the Candidates wild card.
The highest-placed female players were Harika Dronavalli (83rd) and Dinara Saduakassova (85th), with Harika winning the women's trophy on tie breaks.
