Incredible prize from the Sharjah Cultural & Chess Club! That's a potentially life changing opportunity for the average lichesser.

If we're paired by rating, then you never know...
If it's a free for all, then we're getting smashed by 2000's for 3 hours...

Are WCM considered as titled players and do they need to join the qualifying matches or they can directly join the swiss tournament (Second Stage)

As mentioned in the regulations PDF, all titles ( except certain NMs and WNMs ) are auto qualified ( which includes WCM )

Ok thanks !
