In real tournament of chess, we usualy play with 1h30 (both players) with 30 sec of deley... but the games are really long so I think it's a good idea to start with 30 min or less with something like 15 sec of deley.

 

I cant participate unless i can play my first match before sunday.

 

Il make it start earlier

 

We have to fined a solution about draw too...

 

If someone draws/stalemates just do a rematch

 

arent draws handle by peices taken and their value?(i havent played chess in awhile :3)

 

I googled it and couldnt find an answer so we'll just do a rematch if tht happens

 

Sorry Punk123 but it isn't how it work ^^ I think rematch is the best solution...

 

meh, probally isnt used in tournaments but what i meant was using the standard values of chess peices here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece_relative_value and the person who took the most pieces(value wise adding together) would win said tie.

 

Guess I could join, if there's any room for me

 

Theres plenty o room for all

 

When it comes to draws in Knockout (elimination) chess, the correct procedure is to replay the match, though that's why SOME elimination chess matches are played Bo3. Another method used is whoever had the black pieces win.

Therefore, this is what i suggest:
Make the matches Bo3
OR
Single game, if it is drawn, replay the game;

Opinions?

 

i think using the value for pieces(whoever took the most points) should decide ties but if not black should win i suppose

 

Punk123, Using the value of chess pieces as a tiebreaker is not a legal method in chess tournaments, so it shouldn't be used.

 

this isnt a legitimate tournament it is just chess for fun. I dont see how the person having black is a good way to pick a winner and i feel like forcing ties would be very irritating

 

Using the value of chess pieces to determine a winner has the same problems as who has black pieces the most winning. It would be best just to replay the match, or do a Bo3. (Edited my post to reflect this).

 

I'm sure that replay the game is the best idea... PUNK123 yours is good too but it is bad with ballsy move wich need to do sacrifices ;)

It change the game more then you think bro ^^

 

If tie the the two people eill replay the match. If it was so black would win if a tie I feel some people would think of that way unfair.

 

If there's any slots remaining, sign me up. A classy game like chess is too irresistible to pass up. It has been a while since I last played, but I'm ready for the reckoning!
