Lublin GM (2016) Format: 6-round Scheveningen tournament with a time control of 90 minutes/player (+30 seconds/move), followed by a 30 minute/player bonus if the player(s) reach their 40th move. A three-fold repetition of position before move 40 does not count as a double-sided loss, but other traditional draws (before move 40) may score as such. (2) The European team won versus the hosting Polish team by 9½ to 8½.

David Navara as individual best scored 4/6 including a win in the decisive final round which led to a narrow win of the European Team: http://theweekinchess.com/chessnews... History of the Lublin Union Memorial: http://szachy.lublin.pl/arc2016/ind... Jun-18-16    SirRuthless: Go David Navara! Jun-19-16    offramp: Lublin is just a fancy version of Dublin. Jun-19-16    tjipa: offramp: - or chesswise rather vice versa! Jun-19-16    Sneaky: Could somebody explain this? <A three-fold repetition of position before move 40 does not count as a double-sided loss, but other traditional draws (before move 40) may score as such.> Hate to sound cynical, but it sounds like something that a non-chessplayer would come up with. Jun-19-16    gauer: Assuming a correct translation of Article X occurred, http://szachy.lublin.pl/arc2016/ind... explains all - it's no wonder that none were playing for any early stalemate tricks nor agreed draws early on before the secondary time-control kicked in.
