After the rapid and blitz event in Paris last weekend the Grand Chess Tour moves to Leuven in Belgium. But the of the event remains the same. On Friday, 14.00 hrs local time, the rapid tournament starts. It is a nine round all-play-all tournament with a time-limit of 25+10 (each player has 25 minutes for the whole game and gets a 10-second increment per move). The rapid tournament will end on Saturday evening and then a double-round-robin blitz tournament with a time-limit of 5+2 will follow on Sunday and Monday.
For each win in the rapid tournament the players receive two points, a draw nets one point. A win in the blitz tournament yields one point, a draw half a point. In the end, the results of both tournaments are combined and the player with the most points wins the Grand Chess Tour Leuven.
