The '''[[FIDE Grand Prix]] 2017''' was a series of four [[chess]] tournaments that formed part of the qualification cycle for the [[World Chess Championship 2018]]. The top two finishers, [[Shakhriyar Mamedyarov]] and [[Alexander Grischuk]], qualified to the [[Candidates Tournament 2018|2018 Candidates Tournament]].

==Format==
There were four tournaments in the cycle; each consisted of 18 players. 24 players were selected to compete in the tournaments, and each player competed in three of the four tournaments.<ref>{{cite web|title=FIDE Grand Prix Announcement|url=http://worldchess.com/2016/04/27/the-grand-prix-remade/|publisher=FIDE|accessdate=28 April 2016|date=28 April 2016|archive-date=30 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160430083157/http://worldchess.com/2016/04/27/the-grand-prix-remade/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In contrast to the previous editions where players played a full round-robin, each tournament was an 18-player, nine-round [[Swiss system]] tournament. In each round players scored 1 point for a win, ½ point for a [[draw (chess)|draw]] and 0 for a loss. Grand Prix points were then allocated according to each player's standing in the tournament, as shown in the table below.

==Players==
The Grand Prix consists of 24 players. Two players qualified to be among the 24 by being finalists in the [[World Chess Championship 2016]] match; four players qualified by reaching the semifinals of the [[Chess World Cup 2015]], eight players will qualify based on their ratings; one player will qualify by participation in the [[Association of Chess Professionals]], and finally nine players rated at least 2700  (or 2600 for former men and women national or world champions) will be nominated by Agon and FIDE.<ref>[https://old.fide.com/component/content/article/1-fide-news/9649-fide-grand-prix-2016-2017-announcement.html FIDE Grand-Prix 2016-2017 Announcement, fide.com]</ref>

In an interview with Chessdom (Aug 2016), [[Zurab Azmaiparashvili]] (president of the [[European Chess Union]]) indicated various plusses and minuses with the new system, particularly that the nine "wild card" entries were less expensive than in previous versions.<ref name="azmai">[http://www.chessdom.com/zurab-azmaiparashvili-ecu-is-independent-strong-leads-fight-against-corruption ECU is independent] Chessdom interview with Azmaiparashvili</ref> However, with few details currently available and maybe questions unanswered, he also was unsure of the professionality of Agon's approach.<ref name="azmai" />

At the FIDE General Assembly in September, Agon presented [[Vladimir Kramnik]] as having [[Russia]] as a national sponsor, which if true would have been the first time that he participated in the [[FIDE Grand Prix]].<ref>[https://www.fide.com/images/stories/NEWS_2016/FIDE_News/GA_Agenda_2016/Annex_94.pdf Annex 94, FIDE General Assembly 2016]</ref>

Any player who declines to participate in the Grand Prix will be replaced by another player who is rated over 2700. Players who held an entry spot but did not enter the Grand Prix were: [[Magnus Carlsen]] and [[Sergey Karjakin]] from the [[World Chess Championship 2016]], [[Fabiano Caruana]], [[Viswanathan Anand]], [[Veselin Topalov]], [[Vladimir Kramnik]], [[Wesley So]] from the rating list.<ref>[https://old.fide.com/component/content/article/1-fide-news/9980-fide-grand-prix-2017-announcement.html FIDE Grand-Prix 2017 announcement]</ref>

==Tie breaks==
With the objective of determining qualifiers to play in the [[World Chess Championship 2018#Candidates Tournament|Candidates 2018]], and in the case that two or more players have equal cumulative points at the top, the following criteria were utilized to decide the overall Series winner and other overall placings:<ref name=regulations/>
# Number of actual game result points scored in the three tournaments entered.
# Number of games played with black.
# Number of wins.
# Number of black wins.
# Drawing of lots.

==Schedule==

Originally the first event was to take place in October 2016, but this has been moved to November 2017, with the other dates mostly the same.<ref>[https://www.fide.com/index.php?option=com_fidecalendar&view=fidecalendar&ny=2017 FIDE Calendar 2017]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.agonlimited.com/news/2016/11/26/dates-and-venues-for-the-2017-grand-prix-events-confirmed |title=Dates And Venues For The 2017 Grand Prix Events Confirmed |access-date=2016-12-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221015854/http://www.agonlimited.com/news/2016/11/26/dates-and-venues-for-the-2017-grand-prix-events-confirmed |archive-date=2016-12-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Originally the 3rd Grand Prix (now the 2nd) was to conflict with the [[World Team Chess Championship]], but now that event has been moved to July where it instead conflicts with the [[Grand Chess Tour]] events and [[Norway Chess]].

==Broadcasting boycott==
FIDE Grand Prix broadcasting right belongs to Agon, which, in previous tournaments, had sued other websites to restrict their rights on relaying chess moves. In protest, chess24 refuses to relay or mention the Grand Prix starting from Moscow 2017.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

==Events crosstables==

The notation in the crosstable is the number of the opponent, color of pieces, and score. For example, in the top-left hand corner of the Sharjah 2017 crosstable, 16w½ indicates that in round 1, Grischuk played player 16 (Jon Ludvig Hammer) with the white pieces, and the game ended in a draw. The player numbers do not exactly correspond to finishing position; for instance Grischuk, Vachier-Lagrave and Mamedyarov all finished equal first, but are allocated numbers 1, 2 and 3 for convenience of notation.

===Palma 2017===
{{update|section|date=March 2018}}
Going into the final tournament, only Radjabov and Vachier-Lagrave could overtake Mamedyarov or Grischuk to qualify for the Candidates. (Ding Liren could also finish first or second in the Grand Prix, but had already qualified via the World Cup). Going into the final round of that tournament, both Radjabov and Vachier-Lagrave were equal 2nd-10th, and both would have qualified for the Candidates with a final round win, though neither was able to.
