The thinking time per game is 3 minutes + 2 seconds extra time per move.
The preliminary round first serves to classify your playing strength. You will play three matches in a shortened Swiss system and with each victory you will earn a higher rank in the overall table. Your final ranking will decide whether you will continue in the subsequent knockout phase in the Beginners, Advanced (24 or more participants) or Pro Cup. Here you will meet participants with a similar level of play to yours, so that you have a fair chance of finishing on the winner's podium in your cup and taking home an award.
