Venceslav Rutar from Slovenia is organizing a match between GM Sam Shankland and GM Surya Sekhar Ganguly on the 2nd and 3rd of September. What’s so special about this event? As Venceslav says “Draws are not the problem. The problem is how we score them!” A unique scoring system will be used in this match – The traditional 1 (to the winner), ½ (to both the players) and 0 (to the loser) points are replaced by five possibilities: Win, Favored Draw, Equal Draw, Disfavored Draw, and loss.
The match will take place on 2nd and 3rd September 2024. The games will start each day from 8:30 PM IST – there will be four games played between Surya and Sam each day, with the time control of 15 minutes + 5 second increment starting from the first move.
