Last year ( 2017 ) winners - Richard Chen ( boy ) and Cynthia Cui ( girl ) played at Italy and had a great time.

We will have a top section - an Invitation section of 10 players where they will be playing 9 rounds - round robin format.

The other sections will be Open, U1800 and U1300 where it will be a swiss system of 9 rounds for Open and U1800 and 6 rounds for U1300.
