Rounds 3-4
The University of Salamanca is organizing the seventh edition of the Salamanca Cradle of Modern Chess Festival on May 21-25. The festival commemorates the fact that the modern rules of chess were first formulated in 1497 by Luis Ramírez de Lucena in Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con CL Juegos de Partido, the first extant chess book. Lucena was a student at the University of Salamanca.
The Masters Tournament features eight players (four men and four women), who play a single round-robin rapid chess event. Games are played with a time control of 40 minutes and an increment of 5 seconds per move.
