Hi everyone,
The 11th European Senior Team Chess Championship has begun in Rogaska Slatina, Slovenia. It will run till April 5, according to Fide.
The Championship will be played in 9 rounds following the Swiss System. Time control is 40 moves in 90 minutes and 30 minutes to the end of the game. The player will additionaly receive 30 seconds for each move. Any player who arrives at the chessboard more than 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the round will lose the game.
The ranking depends on the number of team points (win = 2 team points, draw = 1 team point, lose = 0 team points). If the number of team points are equal as well the points scored at the individual boards are added up. If further differentiation is needed the “Buchholz-Wertung” is decisive.
Tournament director is GM Adrian Mikhalchishin, chief arbiter is IA Nebojsa Baralic.
