The nearest big city, about 120 km away, is Krakow. A total of 203 players – 81 girls, 122 boys – from 56 federations participated. The contenders included 19 GMs, 36 IMs, 20 FMs, six WGMs, 13 WIMs and 24 WFMs. They were vying for eight cash prizes in each group, the first being 4,000 Euro for juniors and 3,000 Euro for girls.
