We are delighted to announce that the venue for the 3rd Mind Sports Olympiad will be the Conference Centre at Olympia, one of London's premier exhibition and conference sites.
The dates, as announced at the end of last year's event, are August 21st-29th. By extending the event to nine days we have made it possible to accommodate more players and to organize more tournaments.
We plan to have events for most games throughout the Olympiad. Typically, for each game, there will be some tournaments on the first weekend, then some 5-day events on the middle Monday-Friday (August 23-27) and finally some more tournaments on the final weekend. But every game will have its own requirements and at this stage we are still flexible in our tournament planning. For example, we are organizing a very strong chess tournament with 9 rounds, extending thhroughout the Olympiad, in which players will be able to obtain norms towards international titles. This tournament is in addition to the quickplay and 5-minute chess tournaments which we have held in the past.
This year there will be a substantial prize fund. We will be dramatically upgrading our web site over the next few months. We are also opening a full time central London office on May 14th.
Further details will follow during May. In the meantime will all organisers please contact me with suggestions as to how they would like to see the tournaments for their particular game(s) to be scheduled.
David Levy
The prize fund for this year's Mind Sports Olympiad has been set at 100,000 pounds. There may also be some additional prizes to be announced later. In addition to the cash prizes the leading players will also receive the traditional MSO gold, silver and bronze medals. There will be additional medals for the leading juniors in each tournament. The prize funds for some of the games are listed below. All figures are in pounds sterling. Chess 20,000 Bridge 10,000 Go 8,500 10x10 Draughts 8,000 Othello 7,000 Chinese Chess 6,000 Scrabble 6,000 Shogi 5,000 Stratego 5,000 8x8 Draughts 4,000 Memory Skills 3,000 Cribbage 2,000 Dominoes 2,000 Intelligence 2,000 Prize funds for other games will be announced in due course.
