Distribution of prizes

If the points are level, the amount of prize is not divided. A participant can be awarded only 1 prize, which equals the highest amount of award. If the prize is equivalent, priority is given to the main prize.

Places are distributed by the following additional indicators (applied to all the tournaments):

- Buchholz coefficient;
- the coefficient of truncated Buchholz (excluding the poorest result);
- a result of the game played by competitors belonging to the same point group (provided that all the games ended);
- the highest number of wins;
- the highest number of games played by Black.

In tournament E, 5 points are awarded for the correct and complete solution of one chess problem. The winner is determined by the highest amount of points. If the numbers of points received by several participants are level, the minimum time spent on solution of a chess problem is taken into account. Objections on scoring or correctness of the chess problems are considered by the Chief Arbiter alone or with the involvement of additional persons at his discretion. The decision taken by the Chief Arbiter is final.

To receive the prize, the participant must score at least 50% of available points.

Prizes are subject to taxation in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (for Russian citizens the deduction of income tax at the rate of 13%, for foreign citizens the deduction of tax at the rate of 30%).

Prizes won by citizens of the Russian Federation are transferred to their personal bank accounts. All winners should provide copies of passport, pension insurance certificate, Individual Taxpayer Number and full bank details. To receive the prize, foreign citizens should provide copies of their passports.

Children and citizens under the age of 18 are obliged to provide a birth certificate (or passport) and permission from the official representative to receive the prize.
