Shared prizes for equal ended scores. A player can only win one prize except for the spectacular prize and the so called ‘supertrio’ prize.

Gespeeld wordt volgens de huidige FIDE-regels voor het schaakspel. Er worden negen ronden Zwitsers op rating gespeeld. In de ronden 1 t/m 6 heeft elke speler twee keer de mogelijkheid een bye te nemen (half punt). Spelers die van deze mogelijkheid gebruik willen maken dienen dit uiterlijk voor de eerste ronde aan de wedstrijdleiding bekend te maken. Het speeltempo is 40 zetten in 90 minuten, gevolgd door 30 minuten extra tijd voor het beëindigen van de partij. Vanaf de eerste zet krijgt iedere speler 30 seconden per zet toegevoegd. Men is verplicht tot het einde van de partij te blijven noteren. Na afloop van de partij dienen beide spelers het volledig ingevulde en ondertekende originele notatieformulier in te leveren bij de wedstrijdleiding. De eindstand wordt bepaald door: score, weerstandspunten, SB-score In afwijking van artikel 5 geldt voor de gedeelde eerste plaats: indien de op de gedeelde eerste plaats geëindigden allen tegen elkaar gespeeld hebben gelden de onderlinge resultaten, weerstandspunten, SB-score, loting. Bij gelijke score worden de geldprijzen gedeeld. Een speler kan niet meer dan één prijs winnen met uitzondering van de spektakelprijs en het supertrio. Als door het delen van prijzen een bedrag resteert dat kleiner is dan 10 euro, dan wordt dit door de organisatie afgerond tot 10 euro. Tegen een beslissing van de wedstrijdleiding is protest mogelijk. Het protest moet vermeld worden op het ingeleverde notatiebiljet. Binnen 30 minuten na afloop van de partij moet een schriftelijke toelichting op het protest bij de arbiter ingeleverd zijn. De uitspraak van de arbiter in hoger beroep is voor alle partijen bindend. Zie ook regel 13. Na de derde ronde wordt het volledige prijzenschema bekendgemaakt. a) In afwijking van artikel 6.6 onder a van de FIDE regels verliest een speler de partij als hij meer dan één uur na het in het speelschema vastgestelde aanvangstijdstip van de zitting aan het schaakbord verschijnt. b) In tegenstelling tot de FIDE regels zal het - de eerste keer - afgaan van een mobiele telefoon niet direct tot het verlies van de partij leiden: boete € 10 in de boetepot t.b.v. het goede doel. Een tweede overtreding door dezelfde speler tijdens dezelfde ronde leidt tot verlies van de partij. Daar waar het reglement niet voorziet, beslist de organisatie in overleg met de wedstrijdleiding. Op deze beslissing is geen beroep mogelijk. 9

MAIN SPONSORS TOPSPORT LEIDEN The Leiden Topsport foundation manages the Leiden Topsport fund. The fund is sure to promote top sports in Leiden, to help develop top sports and support wherever possible. Due to the limited size of the fund and given the fact that the fund is (partly) filled through municipal funding, it is necessary to determine criteria that must be met in order to make sure that the money is spend in a way that is most effective for the sport, athlete or sport clubs. www.topsportleiden.nl
STICHTING DENKSPORT LEIDEN The Mind Sports Centre (Denksportcentrum) opened its doors in 1998 after a number of mind sports lovers joined in a foundation in 1996 in order to start their own mind sports centre. In August 1998 the first six clubs entered the building and since then practice their favourite mind games e.g. chess, bridge, go or checkers once a week. Nowadays nine clubs have their residence in the building. Apart from the board a number of volunteers and professionals make sure the exploration of the centre runs smoothly. We find it important to create an ambiance that is equipped for professional mind sports players but also a place where players and visitors feel at home. We are very happy to host the Leiden Chess Tournament for the sixth time. We are looking forward to another sportive event and we hope to meet old and new friends during the tournament. Welcome!

CITY OF LEIDEN In the Golden Age, Leiden was the second most important city in the Netherlands with all of its wealth and academic fame. It is in this atmosphere that the sociable, authentic "Leidener" has been living alongside the equally sociable student in the charming, historic inner city lined with canals. Rembrandt, the most famous Leidener of all, would still be able to find his way around the picturesque streets and alleys today while making a discovery or two at the same time. Leiden is not called the Key to Discovery for nothing. Leiden is located on the Old Rhine, in a distance of some 20 kilometers from The Hague and 40 km from Amsterdam. A university town since 1575, Leiden houses Leiden University and Leiden University Medical Centre. It is twinned with Oxford, the location of England’s oldest university. The municipality of Leiden counts approximately 118.000 inhabitants. The Leiden Visitor Centre is situated nearby the Leiden railway Station (Leiden Centraal) at Stationsweg 41. Here you can find information about city tours/walks, wall poems, museums, night life, mills and so on. You may also visit the website: www.vvvleiden.nl/en 13
