Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Nepomniachtchi is Russian, but plays under the FIDE flag due to FIDE banning Russian and Belarusian flags from FIDE-rated events in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9]
- ↑ Ding withdrew before the Poland Rapid and Blitz event took place, citing fatigue. As a result of this change, Levon Aronian was chosen as a wildcard to replace him for the event.[10]
- ↑ Jan-Krzysztof Duda withdrew from the Sinquefield Cup after round 1 due to illness; his round 1 result was not counted towards the standings.
