Katara to organise Open Chess Championship

Doha: The Qatar Chess Federation announced that it will organize the second Katara International Open Championship in cooperation with the Cultural Village Foundation (Katara), which will take place from June 20 to 23.

The tournament competitions will be held through remote system via the website (lichess.org) with the "Bullet" system for only one minute for each competitor, and the points are calculated in the classic way so that the winner gets a point, while the tie gets half a point and the loser gets nothing. The Qatar Chess Federation invited all national federations in the world to participate in the championship competitions, as well as the most prominent international stars in this sport.
