Eric and I will be hosting Smogon's first real Chess tournament. This will be a five-round Swiss System tournament (we may add more rounds if there is a high number of players). Players will have ten days to play their games. Please only sign up if you are planning to be at least reasonably active over the next two months.
Games can be played on Yahoo, FICS, or just by pming each other the notation over IRC. PM your opponent and agree how you wish to play.
Rules:
1. these and these
2. Play by the FIDE rules, which can be found here. In particular, any move played cannot be taken back.
3. All players have ten days to complete their games. It does not matter how you get your match done, so long as it is played within the deadline. PM your opponent and agree how you wish to play.
4. PM any disputes to eric the espeon or myself. We will make the final decisions.
5. You aren't allowed to use any resources except your own head to make your move choices. Things banned include move-generating bots, opening databases and endgame tablebases. Using a chessboard to view positions is acceptable and encouraged.
6. If you fail to complete your games within the given time period, and are deemed inactive, you will forfeit your game or be subbed out. Likewise, let us know if your opponent is inactive.
7. If both players agree, they may use a clock, but otherwise do not play a timed match.
8. We would appreciate it if the winner could pm us a log of the game.
