✅ FIDE approves hybrid competitions valid for rating. ⠀ “Hybrid” is a format where the games are played online, but the participants are physically present in a public place like a club, federation headquarters, hotel, et cetera. All games are played under the supervision of an arbiter present on site. ⠀ A few weeks ago, the FIDE Council approved a new set of rules to be applied to official online chess competitions. The document established the framework for “hybrid” events.
