Tromsø Chess Club (TSK) and Tromsø Youth Chess Club (TSKU) are organizing a series of open tournaments while the World Chess Cup is being played in neighbouring venues.

In all likelihood, many of the title players who are knocked out of the World Cup will play in these tournaments.

A Main: 1000-600-400; Elo-2300: 500-300-200; Elo–2000: 250-150-100
B Main: 500-300-200; Elo-1500: 250-150-100

The first three rounds will be played with the time control 20′+5”, while the remaining four rounds will be played with classical 90′+30”.

The legendary TSKU chess cafe will be operating outside the playing venue throughout the tournament.
