Corsica Masters 2017
Compiled by Tabanus

The 21st Corsica Masters was a knockout tournament with Rapid time control played in Bastia, Corsica, France, 26-29 October 2017 (the final was played in Ajaccio). The field consisted of the top 16 finishers of the Corsica Masters Open (2017) (= Oscaro Open, Bastia 21-26 October, 9 rounds, time control 90 min + 30 sec). The four rounds had two games each, plus tiebreak games (if necessary). Time control: 15 minutes for the whole game, with 3 seconds added per move from move 1. If 1-1, then two Blitz games (5 min + 3 sec), and if still tied, an Armageddon game (this happened twice). Chief organizer: Léo Battesti and the Corsica Chess Club. Chief arbiter: Akkhavanh Vilaisarn. Number of games played: probably 42 (five eighthfinal games are missing).

Aleksey Dreev beat Kamsky 1.5-0.5 in the final.
