• Every Friday is one round.
• Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes Chess960 (=Fischer Random, Freestyle).
• The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 5 games must have been played.
• If two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then eventually the last direct decisive encounter rules.
• PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 10 rounds are summed up. The top 3 of the Challengers are allowed to play in the Masters next season. The top 3 of both tournaments will get special prizes, the rest of the prize pool is divided according to the number of tournament points achieved (50%) and the number of rounds played (50%).

On another note, the only 14-year-old GM Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus crushed ex-FIDE world champion GM Veselin Topalov 5-1, with a 2990 performance, in the "Clash of Generations III" last week in Monaco, breaking 2700 live rating for the first time. He is the youngest chess player ever to become a "super grandmaster". His next goal is 2800...
