The entry form states tiebreaks split by Swiss Master. Who is he ? Korchnoi ?
Last years tiebreaks were effectively grading prizes e.g. if Roddy hadn' t won and two players on 5.5/9 , the 2100 player, not the GM would be champion as his a-e is higher. Is it the same this year ?
Senior titles rules say born before 1/1/59 so at 1/7/14 = 55.5 , ie over 55.5 , or over 56 at year end. But FIDE rules now say over 50 at year end so anyone born before 1/1/65 should be the rule.
