Round 11

Established in 2000, the European Championships are among the strongest open tournaments taking place yearly in the chess calendar. Since the pandemic prevented the organization of the 2020 event, this year marks the 23rd editions of both the open and women’s championships. The open is set to start on March 3 in Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia, while the women’s tournament will kick off on March 18 in Petrovac, Montenegro.

Besides fighting for the €20.000 first prize, the players will attempt to finish among the top 23 in the standings, as this event also serves as a qualifier for the FIDE World Cup.

The tournament is an 11-round Swiss open with a time control of 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move one.

Rounds will be played daily (with no rest days) on March 3-13, starting at 15:00 CET.
