🗓️ Event Details

⏱️ Time Control & Pairings

The competition will run over nine Swiss-system rounds. Each player receives 60 minutes for the game with a 60-second increment after every move.

The one-minute increment gives players additional time throughout the game and supports a serious classical playing rhythm.

Moreover, players should check the published pairings before every round and report any discrepancy immediately. Therefore, each participant should arrive early enough to find the board, prepare the scoresheet when required and follow the arbiter’s instructions.

📝 Registration

In addition, players should retain their payment or registration confirmation and verify that the organizer has added their name to the official participant list.

Meanwhile, international players should check whether the tournament requires a FIDE ID, federation membership, visa documentation or other eligibility evidence.
