I don't see any tournament threads for this event, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

​

GM Nihal Sarin is looking to win his 3rd consecutive Junior Speed Chess Champion title, but will be facing stiff competition from compatriot GM Arjun Erigiasi who has been on fire lately.

Here are the details.

Format:

• A 16-player single-elimination knockout bracket, with 13 invitees and the three qualified players
• Matches begin with 90 minutes in the 5 1 time control, followed by 60 minutes at 3 1 time control and 30 minutes at 1 1. There are breaks midway through the first two segments.
• Games that are ongoing when time runs out in each segment will be completed and count towards the score
• The tiebreak is the same as the qualifier final: Four additional 1 1 games played as a mini-match, followed by armageddon if necessary, with the same bidding system as the qualifier (see above)
• Winner advances to 2022 Speed Chess Championship at the end of the year
