Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening,

Swiss National Chess Tournament 2016 finally starts tomorrow. We are going to have six participants, five rounds, one winner who will represent our country to the Chess World Cup that will be hold in Switzerland this month or the beginning of the next.

All the tournament can be followed, we are going to update the schedule of matches and we are going to share the links where you can watch live the battle on the chess table.

The tournament will be traditional and every March will be reserved for chess. Because i decide tournament to become traditional we are going involve "All Time Ranking" Every new player to the tournaments will start with ranking points 1600. The ranking and tournament is played by system called "Swiss-system tournament"

Swiss-system tournament

Each player is pitted against another player who has done as well (or as poorly) as he or she has done. The first round is either drawn at random or seeded according to rating. Players who win receive a point, those who draw receive half a point and losers receive no points. Win, lose or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers and so on. In subsequent rounds, players face opponents with the same (or almost the same) score. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice, however. In chess, the rules also try to ensure that each player plays an equal number of games with white and black. Alternating colors in each round is the most preferable and the same color is never repeated three times in a row. Players with the same score are ideally ranked according to rating. Then the top half is paired with the bottom half. For instance, if there are eight players in a score group, number 1 is paired with number 5, number 2 is paired with number 6 and so on. Modifications are then made to balance colors and prevent players from meeting each other twice. The first national event in the United States to use the Swiss system was in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1945; and the first Chess Olympiad using it was held in Haifa in 1976.
