Scheduled to be held from August 6 to 15, the event will now feature 10 players in each category, up from eight in previous editions, the organisers said in a press release.

 

Organised by MGD1 and supported by the Tamil Nadu Government and the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu, the tournament has been rebranded as the Quantbox Chennai Grand Masters following a title sponsorship deal with Singapore-based fintech firm Quantbox Research.
