Millionaire Chess was a company which organised the Millionaire Chess Open chess tournament. The tournament was associated with grandmaster Maurice Ashley.[1] The 2014 iteration of the tournament featured a $1,000,000 prize fund, the largest for an open tournament at the time.[2] Low participation, with 400 out of a desired 1000 partipants, and an inability to cover the costs of the competition, led to the third iteration in 2016 being the last running of the tournament.[1][3]
