Rules
You are assumed to know the rules of the game of Chess. If you need clarification on any point, the complete rules are available from FIDE.
This tournament follows a single round-robin format: each player will play one game against each other player. The full schedule of games will be published once signups close. In general, players will get the white and black pieces as near to equally often as possible.
- Queueing
- At any given time players should be playing or enqueued for at least three games. Players are free to play more if they wish.
- When you are ready to begin a new game, you should post "Queueing" in this thread. You may post "Queueing x2" if you are ready to start two games, and likewise for more.
- The tournament director is responsible for starting all games and PMing the players when a game starts.
- If a player has fewer than three games in progress and still has pending games, they will be automatically enqueued for up to three games, unless
- they explicitly re-queue before the tournament director can enqueue them; or
- they lost/drew their last game by time forfeit or abandonment; in which case they must explicitly queue within 72 hours or forfeit all their pending games as well. (Games forfeited by both players in this manner will be scored as abandoned.)
- they explicitly re-queue before the tournament director can enqueue them;
- At any given time players should be playing or enqueued for at least three games. Players are free to play more if they wish.
- Time controls
- Each player has 48 hoursto make each move in the game.
- If a player exceeds their allotted time to move, their opponent may claim a timeout and end the game. They must do so beforemaking another move.
- If the tournament director notices a player has exceeded their allotted time and still has not made a move, they will claim a timeout on the other player's behalf.
- On a correct timeout claim, the game will end in a win for the claimant, unlessthere is no possible continuation of the game in which the claimant could checkmate their opponent; in that case the game will end in a draw.
- Each player has
- Scoring and reporting results
- Once a game concludes, one player should post in this thread reporting the result (White wins, Black wins, or draw).
- Decisive games will be scored as 1 point for the winner and 0 points for the loser.
- Draws will be scored as ½ point for each player.
- Once a game concludes, one player should post in this thread reporting the result (White wins, Black wins, or draw).
- Outside assistance
- Players may notseek assistance in their game from other humans or from computer programs.
- Players mayuse a "dumb" analysis board to play out variations privately.
- Players maymake use of pre-published material on opening theory and strategy.
- Do notpost in the thread of any ongoing game in which you are not a player!Interfering with a game in progress is grounds for disqualification.
- Players
- Dispute resolution
- If players have a dispute about rules, scoring, or conduct, they may ask the tournament director to resolve that dispute for them.
- The tournament director may proactively step in in certain circumstances but will avoid doing so unless deemed necessary.
- If players have a dispute about rules, scoring, or conduct, they may ask the tournament director to resolve that dispute for them.

Given his inability to participate as a player, Menalque has kindly agreed to take over the hosting of the tournament from me this year, allowing me to

I need to get back into thinky chess instead of just playing stupid gambits in online blitz. This seems like a good way.

What's your favorite stupid gambit? Mine is when other people play the Stafford and then are completely unprepared to actually play a game of chess after I dodge all the cheese they throw at me.In post 10, Something_Smart wrote:I need to get back into thinky chess instead of just playing stupid gambits in online blitz.

I've been enjoying 1. e4 c5 2. a3 Nc6 3. b4 quite a bit, a kind of Wing Gambit variant. It's not super unsound even against best play, and you get a nice center and a lot of open lines if they accept it.
I do play the Stafford as well, though I should probably stop and learn actual openings as black. Even if you don't get a quick win, you get a position that's much easier to play than your opponent's, which is pretty valuable in blitz.It's always the same.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're off! Everyone has 3 simultaneous games to start, except for bugspray (who has 2, due to the way the round robin works and me not being able to figure out a way to give them 3 without giving someone else 4).
Good luck to all players and have fun!
Please let me know if you notice any issues in the setup, but it should be that everyone has white and black equally overall (even if you might be more on one side to start with). Additionally, please let me know if you would like to queue for additional games. These will start as other players become available.
I will be monitoring games as best I can, but would appreciate a heads up via PM if you finish your game with the result."we knew everything... And we knew nothing."-

I think he's asking about the chess tags. You just use the word "chess" as a bbcode tag and enter the move list inside. E.g.
Code: Select all
[chess]1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4 3. Nf3[/chess]
would render as

Clarification, just in case: you may not change a move once it has been posted even if your opponent hasn’t yet seen it or made their own move. Moves are final once posted in thread
Also editing stuff on my phone is awful, so I’ll be updating the table with scores once I’m back in Madrid"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."
