The 10-round, 250-player open sees this year the top 10 stars Aronian, MVL and Nakamuraq who compete for a £25,000 first prize. The women's top prize of £15,000 has again attracted many of the world's best female players.
Time control: the players receive 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes until the end of the game, with a 30-second increment from move one. A tie for first place will be settled in a speed play-off.
