19 Times And Counting

AM making final preparations for flying to Munich tomorrow, from where I will be catching trains to the Bavarian spa town of Bad Wörishofen.

I have played in the ChessOrg.de festival there every year since 2006, except for the covid year of 2021, when the event was cancelled.

For many years I played in the open, and recently have played in the U2000, but this time I have entered the seniors, which has 167 participants.

There are nine rounds over nine days, all in the afternoon, except for a 10:00 start on the last day, March 29.

The time control is 90 minutes for 40 moves, 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout.
