This is a "No Vacation" tournament!
Imagine yourself in a 19th century club or café. A glass of port next to the chess board, the smoke of a couple of cigars in the air. Some curious spectators. Almost perfect silence, only a grandfather's clock ticking in the corner. Your opponent offers you two fists. You pick the right one. He shows you the white pawn. And then the duel commences. You sacrifice a pawn in the second move, and all that is to come will be about either glorious victory or disasterous defeat. There will be no draw without a fight, no database, no engine, no "small advantage". It will be only your mind against your opponent's, 32 pieces on a wooden board, and the art of the greatest of all games.
