Pairings will be managed with help of Swiss Manager pairing software. Players who wish to take up to two half-point byes in rounds 1-7 may do so, provided they give adequate notice (ie by informing the arbiter by 19:00 on the previous day), but the second requested bye makes a player ineligible for a prize. No player may request a bye in the last three rounds. The rate of play will be 40 moves in 100 minutes plus 20 moves in 50 minutes plus 15 minutes for all remaining moves with 30 seconds per move added from the start. 6 Rules & technical The current FIDE Laws of Chess, 84 th amendments to: FIDE Congress Tallinn 2013, shall be applied, with the following Article 6.7: Players arriving 30 minutes or more after the start of a session shall lose the game, unless the arbiter decides otherwise. Article 9.1: Draws by mutual agreement in fewer than 30 moves are not allowed. There must be no pre-arranged or tacit agreements to draw games of any length, by repetition or otherwise. Offenders will be reported to the Tournament Director and penalties may involve loss of prize money. Article 11.3b: [Excerpt] During play, a player is forbidden to have a mobile phone and/or other electronic means of communication in the playing venue. If it is evident that a player brought such a device into the playing venue, he shall lose the game. The opponent shall win. As any electronic devices are banned from the playing venue, players and spectators are expected to leave such devices at the cloakroom located on the 1 st floor, before they enter the room. 7 End of the game Analysis is not allowed in the playing area. Chess sets are available for analysis on the ground floor of the hotel. At the end of the game, players are requested to complete and sign the scoresheets in accordance with the FIDE laws of chess and hand them to the arbiter.

Pairings of round 1 shall be published after the Opening Ceremony. 9 Tie Break System The Masters First Prize and Women s First Prize may not be shared. All other prizes will not be subject to a tiebreak and shall be shared equally where players have the same score (or the same relative rating achievement for Rating Band Prizes). First Prize Play-Off: In the event of a tie for first place, a tiebreaking playoff will be held to determine the winner of the first prize. A maximum of 4 players can be qualified for this play-off. The qualifiers will be determined by the best performance ratings of the tied players. 1. The tiebreak will start at 17:00 on February 4 th 2016, or if the qualifiers cannot be determined, as soon as possible afterwards. The organizers reserve the right to modify the time controls for the playoffs if time is insufficient. 2. The play-off will take place in the form of knockout matches. At least one arbiter will supervise each game, hence Appendix A3 and B3 of the Laws of Chess will apply. 3. If 3 players are tied, the player with the highest performance rating will be seeded directly into the final of the play-off. If 4 players are tied lots will be drawn to determine the opponents. The players draw for color before the first game. 4. Each match will take place as follows: - 2 games of rapid play - 10 minutes + 5 seconds per move added (Fischer). - If the score is tied after 2 games, then 2 games of blitz 3 minutes + 2 seconds per move will be played with opposite colors from the first match. - If the score is still tied a sudden death game will be played with obligation to win with white with the time control 4 minutes + 2 seconds per move for white and 3 minutes + 2 seconds per move for black. Lots will be drawn just before this final game and the winner will choose his colour. 5. The winner takes the 20,000 first prize. The loser(s) will have their prize money divided amongst the players with whom they are tied, including those who did not participate in the playoff. Women s Award: If there is a tie for the top women s prize, the tie is resolved in favour of the woman with the highest performance rating.
