Christmas Chess Tournament. 2023-24

Today we celebrated our Christmas chess tournament in a relaxed atmosphere and healthy competition.
The game system used was Swiss, with a time of 8 minutes plus an increase of 3 seconds per player. This pace of play guaranteed fast and exciting games, where every move carried crucial strategic weight.
Throughout the tournament, a total of 5 rounds were played, each one more challenging than the last. Pairings and rankings were determined using computer software, ensuring fair and unbiased results. The initial ranking was compiled in alphabetical order, but the main focus was on the Global Ranking, where performances throughout the tournament were evaluated.
In the end, only a few were crowned champions in each category, but all participants deserve recognition for their bravery and skill on the board.
