Useful info
How to participate?
You need to have an account on World Chess. If you don't have one — just register: it's free! Then join the tournament by clicking the Join button. That's it: you're in!
Time control and number of rounds
Tournaments will be played in a Swiss System format of 9 rounds, with time control: 3 minutes + 2 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.
How are scores calculated?
A win has a base score of 1 point, a draw 0.5 point, and a loss is worth no points. This is a Swiss tournament, so you will be paired with the opponent based on your previous round's results. If you don't have an opponent for one round (if the number of participants is odd), you will be awarded a point.
How does the Pairing work?
Pairings will be done automatically by the World Chess playing platform according to the FIDE Swiss Rules.
How is the winner decided?
The player(s) with the most points at the end of the tournament will be announced winner. When two or more players have the same amount of points, the Buchholz Tie Break is used.
Fair play
Strict Fair Play rules apply: Use of chess engines, outside assistance, or advice is prohibited. Parallel calls, streams, or any other sources of help during games are not allowed. Violators will be disqualified and lose the right to participate in the final.
Still have some questions. How can I contact the organisers?
