RUBICON OPEN – I

In this tournament series rather rarely practised openings are trained, here the starting position possibly leading to the Réti Gambit; for the sake of tournament speed you should have a decent speed track record:

  • 60 Participants are divided into groups of 4.
  • The best proceeds to the next round.
  • presumably three rounds
  • one day time per move
  • have fun!

IV. RUBICON OPEN · 2025

This is my 'open' tournament series; for the sake of tournament speed you should have a decent speed track record:
 

► 250 Participants are divided into groups of five

only the best two players of each group proceed to the next round

so presumably six rounds will be played

relevant for the registration limit are the data (rating etc.) upon registration; nobody will be excluded when exceeding the rating limits later on

two days time per move

► no vacation allowed

have fun!
