Each team is composed of four players plus one reserve (in the men's section) and two players plus one reserve (in the women's section). Time controls are 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to finish the game, with 30 seconds increment after each move starting from move one.
Rogaška Slatina, which the Germans call Rohitsch-Sauerbrunn, is a health resort famous for its curative mineral water, spa and crystal glass. For centuries the thermal springs, curative mineral water rich in magnesium, as well as the picturesque countryside and hospitable people, has attracted visitors from all over Europe. Here are some impressions of the location, sent to us by the German team captain GM Uwe Bönsch:
