Round 2 of the Samsun 19 Mayis Atatürk Memorial Youth and Sports Festival ELO Chess Tournament kicks off Saturday at the Samsun Chess Hall in Ilkadim. The seven-round Swiss runs on classical time, 60 minutes plus 30 seconds per move. Players competing here are hunting rating points on a Turkish stage. The pace favors preparation and deep calculation. Whoever survives the next five rounds with clean scores controls the trophy.
