Durante diez rondas y en total 100 partidas, este torneo por sistema Schenveningen va a juego con la discusión sociológica-científica en el debate si los hombres juegan más fuertes que las mujeres y en su caso, ¿por qué? En la primera ronda, Olga Girya ganó frente a Joseph Gallagher. Marsel Efroimski venció a Eric Rosen y Balazs Csonka se apuntó una victoria con negras frente a Jovanka Houska.
