Millionaire Chess is excited to announce the official registration list for the 2015 tournament. This list is automatically generated, and while the ratings displayed reflect initial assessments, they may not necessarily align with the final ratings used for the competition. International players are identified with their respective country flags.
Important Rating Notes:
- FIDE Rating Adjustment: Players in the “Under” sections will have an additional 60 points added to their FIDE ratings, where applicable.
- Rating Criteria: To avoid sandbagging, the tournament will use each player’s highest rating between December 1, 2013 (the month Millionaire Chess first launched) and the time of registration.
Rating System Adjustments:
- The Tournament Director holds the authority to use CCA ratings (Continental Chess Association), which are derived from long-standing Continental Chess Tournaments organized by Bill Goichberg. These ratings are respected as fair evaluations and may be used where applicable.
- In cases where there is a discrepancy between active ratings in one system versus older ratings in another system, the Chief Organizer and Chief Arbiter have the discretion to use the active rating system to ensure fairness, regardless of the difference between the two systems.
Payment Confirmation:
- TBC (To Be Confirmed) refers to entries where payments have been made on behalf of participants but are pending final confirmation.
We look forward to an exciting tournament with a diverse pool of competitors from around the world!
