- We will regularly organize an Individual Open Swiss system tournament, during the period of intermission (6 weeks) between the end of Rd-6 of the current Team 4545 season and the beginning of Rd-1 of the next Team 4545 season.
-
- Date/ Time to play in each Round is : by negotiation between the two players (similar to Team 4545). ICC messaging is used for this.
- The Tourney will be 4 rounds, with a time span of 2 weeks for each Round, so you will have 14 days to negotiate the date/time and play the game with your opponent in any particular Round.
- Depending on the number of participants, we might have 1 Section only, or divide it into 2 Sections (or possible 3 Sections) based on Rating Category.
- Considering that February 21st will be the end date of Round-6 of the current season (T96) and April 11th will be the start date of Rd-1 of next season (T97),
The 3rd Season of 90m+30s will start on Jun 20, 2023 and will end on Aug 14, 2023.

PLAYING THE 90 30 CHESS GAME |
-
In a Classical 90m+30s chess game, both players start with 90 minutes each at the beginning of the chess game, and then, each time a player moves, that player gets an additional 30 seconds added on to their time (this is called an 'increment')
- Note : In 90m+30s time control game, you must be ready to allocate 4 hours of time, assuming that both players use almost all their time, plus 30s increment.
