CHESS ON THE BEACH! The 13th BCC Open 2013 will take place in the luxurious Dusit Thani Pattaya, taking full advantage of their newly refurbished ballroom.
In consultation with Grandmaster Nigel Short, the reigning BCC Open Champion, the format has been changed in favour of the classical time control used in all major FIDE tournaments including the Olympiad: 90 minutes for the first 40 moves and 30 minutes for the remainder, with a 30-second increment throughout. As the Champion said, we should see a lot more interesting endgames at the tournament.
