Participation from the federations 

The Nordic Chess Federation strongly encourages all Nordic federations to send their best players to participate in the three tournaments in 2016. 

The competition rules etc. 

New rules for the competitions were adopted in 2005 and may be downloaded from the home page (under Regler og Reguleringer): (http://www.sjakk.no/nordisk/).

Please note that both the Nordic Women´s committee and the Nordic Senior committee have expressed that the tournaments for these categories should be held as separate competitions (and not as an integrated part of another event). This should be regarded as a strong recommendation but is not a strict requirement.  

The Nordic Chess Federation would very much like to see a chess festival in 2016 with many participants. The Board therefore welcomes bids that include two or three of the tournaments to be held at the same time and at the same place.

Financial contribution

The Nordic Chess Federation will provide the organizer of the open/elite tournament with a sum of DKK 15 000 to be used for prize money.
