Especially Kaitlin and Daniel Bell who each have unstarted games. (Apologies to any of their opponents who were hoping for wins on forfeit!)

Sunshine vs. Zwischenzug 1-0

[Garvinator]

Just in case it isnt clear, time control is one move in seven days in each individual game from the time of your opponent's last move.

[Kevin Bonham]

And a few people need to move soon!

I am in the next tournament as I have internet back on at home.

What are the rules (books, computers, databases ?).

Cheers
Garrett.

I know I have been a bit slack about enforcing the move rate/time control and missed a couple.

Word of warning to all players. As of 11:59pm Brisbane time Wednesday 27th February, all games where a player over-steps the time limit will be declared lost. Zero tolerance, so to speak, from now on.

Everyone should be aware of what is expected of them by now.

Good to see.

What are the rules (books, computers, databases ?).

Opening databases, opening books are fine. Engine play is not. Endgame tablebases are also forbidden.

[Kruupy]

Sorry all but I am forced to resign from this tournament as other commitments have forced me to decrease my list of responsibilities.

Apologies once again,
Kruupy.

[Garvinator]

Trying to gauge opinions on a matter.


What do the participants think regarding offering multiple conditional moves? ie I have played (insert any move here), if you reply with any of these 14 moves, then I will play (insert any move here).

On ICCF, a person can only offer one conditional variation and it has to be linear, meaning only one variation.

I am not trying to introduce a new rule for this tournament, but depending on feedback from the tournament, will be a new rule for next tournament.
