teverovski bogoljub :
time for new thematic 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.f3
(2025-12-17 12:55:58)
teverovski bogoljub :
it's the last game of tournament I was playing
(2025-12-17 12:53:17)
teverovski bogoljub :
it's not my game
(2025-12-17 12:52:50)
gray garvin :
inform Thibault of the tablebase draw
(2025-12-17 03:17:51)
gray garvin :
If they don't, then on next move, press call referee and
(2025-12-17 03:17:32)
gray garvin :
Offer draw to your opponent and state this. Most agree
(2025-12-17 03:17:09)
teverovski bogoljub :
Game 148534 is 5-pieces tablebase draw
(2025-12-16 20:20:46)
jempty george :
and in higher rated tourneys prob. ZERO black wins
(2025-11-29 15:02:10)
jempty george :
only in lower rated tournaments there will evr b 2 black win
(2025-11-29 15:01:23)
jempty george :
issue with different values for black and white as I see it
(2025-11-29 14:59:56)
jempty george :
apparently it's just like ICCF's? That could be the standard
(2025-11-29 01:49:14)
jempty george :
yes, 3 white, but I've come around to Garvin's idea now
(2025-11-29 01:46:20)
devassal thibault :
... as 3 white wins?
(2025-11-28 20:21:19)
jempty george :
with my idea 2 black wins would count the same s 2 white wns
(2025-11-28 10:01:39)
ozen bahadir :
1.1 for black, 1.0 for white also enough
(2025-11-28 09:09:37)
jempty george :
1.5 for Black, 1.0 for White?
(2025-11-28 00:15:37)
devassal thibault :
But there is no guarantee it can apply
(2025-11-27 23:41:33)
devassal thibault :
Actually, that's an interesting idea!
(2025-11-27 23:41:00)
pineda ulises :
In tie breaks
(2025-11-27 17:00:32)
pineda ulises :
What about making black wins have more weight
(2025-11-27 17:00:24)
devassal thibault :
Garvin's right :) No perfect choice anyway...
(2025-11-26 21:02:18)
gray garvin :
mind
(2025-11-26 11:33:53)
gray garvin :
And our opinion is irrelevant. Thibault is not changing his
(2025-11-26 11:33:48)
gray garvin :
Not really. This topic is not new. It is a repeat.
(2025-11-26 11:33:23)
jempty george :
maybe we should start a forum topic
(2025-11-26 10:19:08)
gray garvin :
the best tie break is most wins, followed by SB
(2025-11-26 08:08:45)
gray garvin :
the lowest rated player in the field
(2025-11-26 08:08:28)
gray garvin :
Perf rat is also not a good tie break as it advantages
(2025-11-26 08:08:14)
jempty george :
to reduce MY own scenario with rtng having gone way up
(2025-11-26 00:43:16)
jempty george :
a reward could be perf. rtng minus last published rating
(2025-11-26 00:41:48)
devassal thibault :
Finally, we made it different for the CUP
(2025-11-25 17:40:13)
devassal thibault :
2. It is kind of a reward for other tournaments played/won
(2025-11-25 17:39:26)
devassal thibault :
1. It does not evolve after the tournament starts
(2025-11-25 17:38:38)
devassal thibault :
There were several reasons to choose TER:
(2025-11-25 17:38:07)
gray garvin :
TER is too much of an advantage
(2025-11-25 12:53:18)
gray garvin :
of the field means you know you can finish with 3/6
(2025-11-25 12:53:08)
gray garvin :
TER is a terrible tie break. Being 1 rtg pt above the rest
(2025-11-25 12:52:34)
jempty george :
i wish it could be based on perf. rating :(
(2025-11-25 00:38:01)
devassal thibault :
Highest tournament entry rating
(2025-11-24 23:33:46)
jempty george :
what is the tie-break method in the WCH stages?
(2025-11-24 23:26:54)

The main idea was:
(2025-11-18 13:06:21)
devassal thibault :
That was a (very small) way to finance FICGS ^^
(2025-11-18 13:05:40)
pineda ulises :
One should get a rating based on chess skills, not tickets
(2025-11-18 10:45:05)
pineda ulises :
I made a long reply about in on the forum
(2025-11-18 10:42:23)
jempty george :
Stan, your rating has to be within 50 points of 2350
(2025-11-17 23:35:11)
gounant stanislas :
Yes, and that lowers the value of tournaments...
(2025-11-17 23:18:42)
pineda ulises :
It gives value to Epoints, doesn't it?
(2025-11-17 23:08:52)

I would like to buy a ticket for class SM 28
