The SixDays Open Budapest kicked off this week with 90 minutes per side and 30 seconds increment. The Swiss format pulls together a mixed field chasing rating points across nine rounds. Round 1 games are still in motion on the Lichess boards, with the usual opening skirmishes playing out. Players have plenty of time to avoid quick disasters, but that deep increment rewards precision over bluff. Nine rounds means the tournament rewards consistency more than a single brilliant breakthrough. This one shapes up as a grind.
