minutes for White and 4 minutes for Black, plus an increment of 2 seconds a move from
move 61, Black having draw odds. A toss of a coin will determine colours.
In the event of three or more players tying for first place, the top two will be determined by
tie-break, in the following order of priority, and will enter the play-off described above:
• The number of games played.
(A 1-point bye will count as a game that was played).
• The results between the players involved in the tie.
• Sum of progressive score.
• Sum of opponents’ scores (Buchholz).
• Sonneborn-Berger.
• Number of won games.
