    I would have thought the Interzonals aren't "open", but apparently the definition of an "Open" is wider (and more fuzzy) than I thought. Jan 27, 2016 at 8:38
  • @BlindKungFuMaster I guess they mean a tournament where the Swiss system is used. You could also ask whether a tournament like the Qatar Masters Open is truly "open" when there is a minimum rating requirement of Elo 2300. Jan 27, 2016 at 9:09
  • Well, there is also the term "swiss open" which would be redundant. But intuitively you're right. Apparently how you get into the tournament doesn't play too much of a role in defining a tournament as an open or not. Jan 27, 2016 at 9:28
