Instead of the usual single round-robin with ten participants, this year the Altibox Norway Chess tournament is a six-player double round-robin. The organizers have decided to use the innovative format they put in place last year, with Armageddon deciders following each game that finishes in a draw.
A couple of modifications have been made to the regulations though. Unlike last year, when each player received two hours for the whole game without increments, a 10-second increment is being used after move 40 in this year’s edition. The scoring system has been altered as well:
In the Armageddon decider Black gets 7 minutes to White’s 10, with an increment of 1 second per move starting from move 41. Black gets draw odds.
October 9 and October 14 are rest days.
