Tourney form
- The tourney will start at June 12th.
- All players will be divided into several groups according to their rating (Classic alltime rating from June 1st!).
The one with the highest rating will be put
into group 1, the one with the second highest rating in group 2, the third in group 3 and so on so that all groups will
consist of strong and weak players. The number of group members
strongly depends on the number of players. For an example lets assume there will be 50 players, they will get
divided into 10 groups a 5 players.
- Within the first stage of the tourney, each group member will play each other within 3 weeks of time until June 30th.
All appointments for playing games have to be done within the forum in a special group thread.
- The best two players of each group will continue playing 6 rounds of swiss perfect using Bronstein clock with 50/12/4 (according to ISF rules)
These 6 rounds will be played at ONE SINGLE DAY, at July 1st, starting at 14:30 UTC (=GMT). Please don't join the tourney if you don't
