Our Chess Night in Duisburg takes place once a month in the Bolleke restaurant. The thinking time per game is 3 minutes + 2 seconds extra time per move.
We start the tournament with a preliminary round, which serves to classify the playing strength of all participants. For this purpose, we form groups of four players in which everyone plays against everyone else. Your final group ranking at the end will decide which knockout phase you will go on to:
1st place = Pro Cup
2nd & 3rd place = Advanced Cup
4th place = Beginners Cup
In the knockout phase, you will meet other players with a similar playing level to yours, so that you have a fair chance of finishing on the winner's podium in your cup and taking home a small award.
