44th Ghent Open International Chess Tournament

Description

This non-rated tournament is the classic tournament as it has been organized for years. Play chess for fun without worrying about the rating. The players now have the choice, either they play as before in a tournament that does not count for Elo-treatment, or they participate in the new tournament, the Fide-Rated.

Tempo and schedule are identical for both tournaments, the prize money is not.
