I have entered the 60+ seniors, which has 44 players and a time control of 40 moves in 90 minutes, followed by 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout.
There are nine rounds over nine days, but with a double-round on Monday and a free day on January 1.
The venue is Hotel Galaxy, on the edge of the old town and beside the Vistula river.
I stayed there last year, enjoying everything except the lousy wifi.
So this year I am staying in a much cheaper chain on the other side of the old town - a 3km walk away, according to Google Maps.

Good choice to find another hotel.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stay and the games!
I'm hoping for an upturn in form, and perhaps a chain hotel, where you know what you are going to get, will help!
ReplyDeleteI thought the Hilton Garden Inn was good when I went to Krakow a few years ago, although it is on the opposite side of town to the Galaxy hotel and a tram ride away from it.
DeleteIt's the other side of the river from the venue, but according to Google Maps is slightly closer than the hotel I've booked!
