Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-30 20:20:03) 2nd FICGS chess WCH waiting list is open Hello to all. The waiting list for the 2nd FICGS chess world championship is open ! The 2nd stage of the first cycle may begin before the end of 2006. Thus, a new WCH cycle should begin every 6 months ! A small update in the rules : "A player can't be involved in two consecutive knockout tournaments." (of course, the 8 players involved in the quarter finals during the last cycle can enter the round-robin tournaments cycle) Several logical reasons to this change : More fun & more chances for more high-rated players, decreasing the risk of rating peaks & to see a world champion involved in several knockout tournaments & candidates finals... to play the final match against himself :) [edit : this rule is no more effective, simulations show the results wouldn't be interesting enough, and as it will be hard to start a new WCH cycle every 6 months, it's simply better to see the highest rated players in the knockout tournament, whatever the consequences] Good luck & best wishes to all... Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-31 09:58:18) 2nd FICGS chess WCH waiting list is open Hello Wayne. I can do this tomorrow. If the issue is about rating, please note that ratings taken in account at the start of the tournaments (TER : Tournament Entry Rating) are current ones at this time - november rating if this cycle starts ie. on december 15) - so ratings will be automatically updated in the waiting list... Kind regards.
