Round 2

The European Championship is an 11-round Swiss open. The time control is 90 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes until the end of the game, with 30-second increments per move from the start of the game.

A total of 375 players have registered to participate, with Bogdan-Daniel Deac, Alexey Sarana and Jorden van Foreest starting as the top seeds.

The organisers are offering a total prize pool of €100,000, with €20,000 going to the tournament winner. Perhaps even more important for the top players is the chance to qualify for the next FIDE World Cup. The top 20 players get a ticket for the FIDE knockout tournament, in which three players can win a ticket for the Candidates Tournament.
