Polanica-Zdrój has hosted an annual international chess tournament since 1963 in honour of Akiba Rubinstein, the early-20th-century grandmaster born in nearby Stawiski. The 62nd edition continues that line — making it one of the oldest continuously-running named international tournaments in chess history, alongside Hastings and Wijk aan Zee.
Format
Ten-player round-robin at classical 90+30, plus parallel Swiss open and rapid sections. The main GM round-robin is invited and has historically favoured Polish and Central European grandmasters, with several international invitees per edition.
