"The format of each tournament and the rate of play will generally be determined
by the Tournament Director according to the number of programs entered and any
other relevant factors. The 13 th World Computer-Chess Championship (WCCC) will
be a Swiss-system event with 11 rounds in which the rate of play will be 60
moves in 2 hours followed by the rest of the game in 30 minutes."
