Weekend Tournament

The main event of the 83rd Noteboom tournament (16-18 February 2024) … when possible, Dutch ELO ratings will be used over FIDE ratings. For rounds 1 and 2, a player can request a bye which is rewarded with half (1/2) a point. During rounds 3 and 4, it is possible to (timely!) request a bye, but in doing so, player will forfeit the game (0 points, no impact on KNSB rating). No byes can be requested for rounds 5 and 6 on Sunday.

  • Group A: for players with ELO > 1900
  • Group B: for players with ELO > 1600 and < 2000
  • Group C: for players with ELO < 1700

A maximum of two byes (skipped round, ½ point) can be requested for two of the first four rounds, but only BEFORE the start of the tournament. There are fields on the entry form for this purpose.

The results of this tournament will count for national (Dutch) ratings only, not FIDE.

Like previous years, we will again organize 4-player round robins. This tournament is played during rounds 1, 3 and 6 of the main event. Only senior players (>20 years old) can register for these round robins. Byes are not possible and players will be paired based on ELO rating. We will try to avoid pairings of club members as much as possible.

Rate of Play
100 minutes for the whole game plus 10 seconds per move starting from move 1.
