On Friday and Saturday the tournament takes place in the open shopping mall PlusCity (www.pluscity.at) and intents to promote chess in public.

On Thursday and Sunday the shopping mall will be closed (restaurants are open, free parking and toilets available).

A large number of spectators and numerous media representatives are expected and the noise level will be significantly higher than usual. All participants declare with their registration that they explicitly accept these conditions. The organizer reserves the right to limit the number of participants.

The results of the participants will be passed on by the organizer to FIDE/ACF as instructed.
