🔳 Regulations:
1️⃣ Type: Fide U2200
2️⃣ Time: 15:00 (GMT)
3️⃣ Time Control: 3+0
4️⃣ Website: Lichess.org
5️⃣ Total time: 120 minutes
6️⃣ Entry Fee: Free for Africa. $5 Europe & North America. The rest are $2
7️⃣ The Berserk option is available.
8️⃣ All players are required to have played at least 30 rated blitz games with their Lichess account.
9️⃣ We will use Lichess peak blitz rating minus 100 points for Fide “Unrated” players. For example if one unrated player has a peak blitz rating of 2150, we will deduct 100 points and the player will compete for the prizes in 2000-2099 section.
1️⃣0️⃣ Player category for Fide Unrated with Lichess rating above 2300 will be determined by Subtracting 200 Points from player Peak rating, for example a player with 2350 rating minus 200 points =2150 hence will play in 2100-2199 category. Kindly note this Only applies to players with 2300+ lichess peak rating. All other players we will continue to determine category by Subtracting 100 points from peak rating.
1️⃣1️⃣ All players must take part in the tournament with their official Lichess ID otherwise won’t be able to win the prizes.
1️⃣2️⃣ Winners of class prizes can only receive prizes related to their rating level.
1️⃣3️⃣ For Rating Category prizes, we will be considering the Maximum current FIDE rating of all three formats.
1️⃣4️⃣ If a player is eligible for two prizes between the sections, the higher prize is awarded.
1️⃣5️⃣ The USCF (United States Chess Federation) rated players who don’t have Fide rating, will be eligible to receive the section prizes. Here is the formula to calculate their Fide rating: (USCF-100= Fide rating). That means a USCF player with rating of 1650 would be eligible to receive the section prize for under 1600 (1650-100=1550).
1️⃣6️⃣ All players are required to join the Unity Team, which has been formed on Lichess for this tournament.
1️⃣7️⃣ No more registration will get accepted one hour prior to the tournament!
🔳 The Power of the Jury:
1️⃣ Prohibiting offending players from participating in future matches.
2️⃣ Issues a verdict for players who have committed a violation outside the rules of the regulations.
3️⃣ Verification: Ask players to play some blitz games on camera with the presence of some members of the jury after the end of the tournament, in order to verify their performance in the competition.
4️⃣ Asking players to move up their Lichess Blitz rating to certain level.

Nodirbek Abdusattorov is a draw against Jorden van Foreest away from at least a playoff for the Tata Steel Masters title after he drew against Wesley So in Round 12. Anish Giri, who could have caught him, survived by the skin of his teeth against Jorden, while Magnus Carlsen called his missed win against Praggnanandhaa a “backbreaker”. Another point is that Parham Maghsoodloo won again in this round.
In a late twist at the Tata Steel Masters, Anish Giri leapfrogged Nodirbek Abdusattorov on the final day of action to claim a first title in his home super-tournament. In round 13, Giri defeated Richard Rapport, while 2021 champion Jorden van Foreest got the better of long-time leader Abdusattorov. Meanwhile, Magnus Carlsen and Parham Maghsoodloo also ended the tournament with wins to their names.
