Players may make use of pre-published material on opening theory and strategy.

What does this mean?

[Menalque]

But like, I’m assuming that you can’t use any of those resources once a game has actually started, right?

[Menalque]

Like I can’t just get to move 4 and be like “oh what’s the main line here?”

[Menalque]

Huh

I had no idea that was generally okay in correspondence

[Menalque]

Big +1, thanks Umlaut!

[Menalque]

I personally would be fine with it

[Menalque]

In Menalque vs Gypyx I won by resignation

Queueing x2

[Menalque]

mine was for the mandatory game + 1, in case unclear!

Thanks for modding and organising this all Umlaut! Sorry I'm a bit delayed aha.

I think I agree that a simplified time format would be helpful if we repeat, but I wonder if another option would be to try to organise a day/multiple days where people could play in real time instead of doing it via correspondence? Especially if it was in bracket format instead of round robin.
