e will publish the provisional award on 15th January 2020 in the Hungarian website, UAPA & ARVES, and sending it to all participants via email.

The double Hungarian Champion, Schneider Attila’s used Evaluation Method is as follows (see ChessClinic’s endgame study tourney 2001_2002: winner Pal Benko):

The authors will receive serially numbered anonymous diagrams with solutions after the deadline for submission and from 0 to 5 you can score your competitors’ work. Half points are also possible (0,5; 1,5; etc).The points given to each other will be summed up. The author (or co-authors) wins, who the most points get. Of course the participants are not scoring themselves.
Help for the judges: all authors will also receive an Excel table, in which only the scores must be entered and the completed table returned to the director.

Prize pool in the two sections jointly: USD 1000.
