Chess

There will be quarter finals, semifinals and a final. There will be as many pre-quarter final matches as needed to choose 8 players for quarter finals.
Players will be paired up randomly for knock out matches at each level
In case of odd number of players, some players will get an entry directly to the next higher level.
This will only happen before the quarter final level.
All matches will be untimed and knock out. In case of a draw, a timed playoff will be conducted to decide the winner.
