The Maccabiah International Chess Festival is taking place on 21-28 July 2013 at the Dan Hotel, Jerusalem – Israel. It includes several events at different levels.
Our guests from abroad include titled players (IMs and GMs) participating in the invitational tournaments together with leading Israeli players and those who try to achieve GM and IM norms.
The composition of the invitational tournaments is dictated by the FIDE Title Regulations.
Two GM tournaments, two IM tournaments, an open event and a tournament for juniors are being held concurrently.
The invitational events are 10-player round-robins. The list of participants includes members of the Israeli national team, distinguished grandmasters from abroad and leading Israeli junior players.
The time control is 90 minutes per player for the first 40 moves, plus 30 minutes for the rest of the game, plus an increment of 30 seconds from move 1.
