The 2017 World Draughts Championship in international draughts was held from 1 to 16 October, 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. 79 players, who qualified through the championships of Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America, competed in the tournament. Among them was women's grandmaster Matrena Nogovitsyna from Russia. The total prize money for the tournament was 20,000 euros. The tournament was supervised by main referee Andriy Shcherbatyuk (Ukraine).[1]

Four rounds were played in the Hotel Euroopa, while the rest were played in the Paul Keres Chess House.[1] The 2017 Women's World Draughts Championship took place simultaneously at the same locations.

Rules and regulations

[edit]

In the first stage, 79 participants were divided into 3 groups, each playing a 9-round Swiss-system tournament. Ties on points were resolved using the truncated Solkoff coefficient. The top 4 players from each group, 12 players in total, advanced to the final.

The final was played as a round-robin tournament. The games were played with the official FMJD classical time control: 80 minutes plus a 1-minute increment per move.

The final rankings were determined by total points. If two or more players finished with the same score, the following tiebreaks were applied:

  1. Number of wins.
  2. Results in the direct encounters between the tied players.
  3. Results obtained against opponents in order of their final ranking.[1]
