Rules and regulations

The games were played in the official FMJD time rate of the Fischer system, with 1 hour and 20 minutes for the game plus 1 minute per move. Conforming to the FMJD regulations, players were not allowed to agree on a draw before they both made 40 moves. If they did so nevertheless, the referee is obliged to decide on a 0-point for each player.

The final classification was based on the total points obtained. If two or more players had same total points to define the places, the following factors were used to define the places:

largest number of victories
best results between these players in direct confrontation
best results obtained in order of the classification.

For the places 1 – 3, tie-breaks using the Lehmann-Georgiev system (15 minutes and 2 seconds added per move for an unlimited number of games) would be played if necessary; other places were shared.
