PTU CHESS CLUB

The tournament will be conducted in Swiss style in the initial rounds. Learn about the swiss style if
you are interested, it is the format used worldwide in almost all tournaments. To
summarize, this is NOT a elimination-style tournament so everybody will get a chance to play at
least couple of games. In the initial rounds players will be paired randomly, so in case you
unfortunately face the best player of the tournament in the first round and lose the first game, you
still get a chance to recover in the subsequent rounds and reach the semis/final. Final rounds
might be a combination of Swiss and/or knock-out. Tournament format will be finalized after the
possible number of participants are determined.
