International open chess tournament

To the general delight of chess players, last year we restarted the tournament after a two-year break. This year we are again organizing the 35th consecutive international chess tournament Pula Open. Last year, despite the two-year break, we were again the most visited croatian tournament, and of course the majority of players were again foreign players. The Pula Open is especially popular among players because it makes a unique combination of playing chess and relaxing, enjoying Pula’s beaches and sights. This year we expect over 200 players from all over the world, primarily because of the exceptional popularity that chess has enjoyed in the last few years. Also, the players wanted an open tournament. This year’s open brings one novelty, which is only one round per day. The tournament will be played again, as every year, in the Park Plaza Histria hotel.

Anyone interested is welcome to follow the tournament live and support the competitors, and all visitors have free entry.

Time control

A 9-round Swiss is played. Time control is 90 minutes, plus 30 seconds for each move played from the beginning to the end of the game. Regular rounds are played every day from 4:30 p.m., except for the last round, which starts at 10:00 a.m. All chess players who have a FIDE ID number have the right to perform. The tournament will be rated for international and national ratings.
