This is tension free unrated chess tournament in absolutely relaxing ambience for chess connoisseurs who love travel, culture and delicious cuisine. This is not a tough professional rated tension packed chess tournament. Amateur chess players can participate. Non-chess players can also participate as accompanying persons.
