Thibault de Vassal (2006-07-01 17:20:35) 1st FICGS chess championship started ! Hello to all. As you may have noticed, 23 new tournaments just started : http://www.ficgs.com/category__ficgs__chess__wch.html 4 matchs (quarter final) started in the knockout tournament QF 1 : John Anderson (SM) - Farit Balabaev (GM) QF 2 : Daniel Cinca - Peter Schuster (SM) QF 3 : Gilles Hervet (SM) - Gino Figlio (IM) QF 4 : Petr Makovsky (SM) - John Knudsen (SM) 19 tournaments (groups) started in the round-robin cycle, 17 tournaments with an elo average between 1672 and 1732 (16 tournaments of 17 are in a 32 points range), and 2 "group M" with an elo average about 2390. All round-robin tournaments are groups of 7 players as it was the best way to make it fair. I wish you all good games and have fun :) Peter Schuster (2006-09-19 09:35:03) Draw accept not possible Hello Thibault in game 1803 I get an offer of draw, but I'm not able to accept this offer. The server didn't accept this selection. Regards, Peter Peter Schuster (2006-09-19 12:19:52) Solved I must klick "move" with an empty move and now I can accept the draw offer.

What happens now? Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-12 15:41:13) FICGS chess championship #1 Pairings for the semi-finals in the first FICGS WCH knockout tournament are known : GM Farit Balabaev / SM Peter Schuster - IM Gino Figlio / SM Petr Makovský FICGS WCH round-robin tournaments (stage 1) are still running, next round should begin in 2007 january. This time control, 30 days + 1 day / move, is definitely hard ! .. but definitely challenging :) Peter Schuster (2006-10-24 12:57:17) Rating / 8-game-match Hallo Wolfgang, ich fuehle mich durch Deinen Beitrag angesprochen. Alle meine Spiele sollten fuer das Rating gewertet werden. Dass SF Cinca ein sehr unangenehmer Mensch (ich hatte leider in einem GM-Normturnier schon mal mit Ihm zu tun) und aeusserst unsportlicher Gegner ist, kann nicht mir angelastet werden. Nach 2 Remis stand ich in 2 weitern Partien klar auf Gewinn und haette keines der restlichen Spiele verloren. Als er das eingesehen hat, hat er einfach aufgehoehrt zu ziehen und seine Zeit ablaufen lassen. Ich hoffe, dass solche Unsportlichkeit auch entsprechend bestraft wird. Viele Gruesse Peter Wolfgang Utesch (2006-10-28 17:32:08) Chess quizz :-) 8) Peter Schuster will win the first FICGS-World Championchip! He's playing the most variable chess and his opening repertoire is the largest. Peter Schuster (2007-01-17 04:56:27) First FICGS WCH Hello, when starts the semi-finals in the first FICGS WCH knockout tournament? best wishes Peter Schuster Thibault de Vassal (2007-01-17 17:59:25) 2nd FICGS chess world championship Hello to all. 2nd FICGS chess WCH just started only 6 months after the first one and with about 75% players more. 24 tournaments with an elo average from 1620 to 1698, 1 group M (elo average 2363) and 4 quarter final matches in the knockout tournament : GM Farit Balabaev (2569) - FEM Wolfgang Riemer (2415) Thibault de Vassal (2514) - FEM Wolgang Utesch (2460) SM Peter Schuster (2537) - FIM Harry Ingersol (2456) Wolfgang Kund (2557) - SM Wladyslav Krol (2423) By seeing the first moves, I predict the 4th quarter final will be a very exciting match with risky games :) Thanks to all for enjoying these tournaments, I wish you good games and may the best player win ! http://www.ficgs.com/category__ficgs__chess__wch.html WCH waiting list will stay open during next months for eventual replacements.

Ilmars Cirulis (2007-06-14 09:31:24) Figlio - Schuster Finally we will have champion!! Wolfgang Utesch (2007-06-14 10:04:00) Figlio - Schuster Before champion a last match has to be played between the final winner of this KO match and the over all winner of the round robin tounaments. Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-14 13:55:15) Figlio - Schuster Should be an interesting opposition of styles :) .. Congrats to both players ! Hannes Rada (2007-06-14 18:59:47) Figlio - Schuster It's confusing, because at Semifinal 1 we can see: 'Leader: Farit Balabaev' ?? Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-14 20:38:14) Figlio - Schuster It has just been updated. Anyway in this list both players are winners of the match, but according to the WCH rule, Peter qualifies for the next round. Hannes Rada (2007-06-14 21:12:49) Figlio - Schuster << but according to the WCH rule, Peter qualifies for the next round >> because of his lower rating ? Wolfgang Utesch (2007-06-14 22:45:22) Figlio - Schuster Have a look into the WCH tournament rules: "The knockout tournament is played into 8 games matches. The special rule (avoiding short draws) is that in case of equality (4-4), the winner is the player with the strongest tournament entry rating if all games are draw, the player with the lowest tournament entry rating if not all games are draw. The winner is qualified for the next stage." Any questions? Hannes Rada (2007-06-14 23:18:43) Figlio - Schuster Oh, Thank you Wolfgang. Very complicated ... :-) Or let's say unusual.. . I would prefer a 3 stage round robin tournament based on the famous swiss-system. For me that seems to be a more fair competition. Hannes Rada (2007-06-15 20:19:19) Figlio - Schuster 4:4 is imho a draw notwithstanding a rating difference. And both player oder no player should have the right to get to the next stage. Wolfgang Utesch (2007-06-15 21:09:10) Figlio - Schuster Initial rating (before starting the match) is deciding!

Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-23 06:06:29) Chess Engine Strength Hello Glen ! I see your point, that's quite true and a consequence is what I called at TCCMB "the extensive nature of elo rating", however rating rules are more dynamic at FICGS.. So, let's say Rybka playing the FICGS championship against players of all kinds of ratings in the round-robin cycle... Anyway 2200 is only my feeling. I understand your views about "rybka" [correspondence] chess nowadays, even if I don't agree with it completely. I saw some of your CC games played at IECG, and it looks much more like 'good old' chess with some unusual and beautiful tactical openings than typical 'correspondence computer chess' nowadays. I do believe there will be a place in the next CC years for more weird openings like bird, king's gambit, english... Also take a look at Peter Schuster and Wladyslav Krol games here !? .. Nothing boring with them, chess engine or not :) Also advanced chess games with fast time controls could be quite interesting to watch in future as a way to see granmaster games with chess engines avoiding blunders 'only' (ok a bit more). We don't know exactly the human part in it, but draws won't be the rule for sure. What is "boring" at correspondence chess (not new) is that achieving a top rating take a long... very long time ! .. But this is a great challenge yet IMO. At last, thanks for you kind words :) Best, Thibault Sergey Pligin (2007-06-23 20:18:55) Who is Viktor Savinov? Mister Savinov Viktor has doubted my surname is real. It is not true, I can easily prove it. I am playing Mr. Schuster Peter in one ICCF event. The latest moves, which are now invisible for public, are 46.Rb6 Kf8. Peter will understand me. If there is any need I can show the full score of this game. [moderator : end of the message deleted, feel free to read rules and particularly membership & netiquette sections] Wolfgang Utesch (2007-06-25 17:48:40) FICGS vs. IGAME.RU Let me explain – I don’t want to have any exception rules for me! It’s a principle thing: about 35 years ago I played some few correspondence chess tournaments by postcard (naturally with my real name). After a long period of abstinence (since 1999) I played correspondence chess by Email (IECG/Playchess-Server and ICCF/ICCF-Webserver) – new transport medium but with old real name. So everybody can see my chess history: I’m standing (with my real name) to all my many bad or neutral games as same as to my some very good chess performances. I’ve always used tools (first just books and later also engines), but I’ve always played my games alone (without help by any other person). I think there are many other players with FICGS (i.e. Peter Schuster, Hannes Rada, Harry Ingersol or others more) who have done it similar like me. In contrast, if DONALD DUCK wins and has played a very good game, he likes it to say his real name, if he loses or has played poorly, he is just staying DONALD DUCK. He wouldn’t have to fear to disgrace himself, but there is a real chance for him to gleam! Sorry, but this is not my idea from a friendly match between two serious teams. Wolfgang Utesch (2007-06-27 07:14:19) Figlio - Schuster They've played already a correspondence chess game together: Schuster - Figlio 1-0, 2003. Anyway my favorite is Peter! Thibault de Vassal (2007-06-27 14:14:36) Figlio - Schuster Hi Wolfgang. Is it possible for you to post this game here ? (I've lost my ICCF database) .. Thanks !

The friendly match between FICGS & IGAME.RU teams just started :) http://www.ficgs.com/tournament_FICGS__CHESS__FICGS_VS_IGAME_RU_MATCH.html I'd like to thank Sergey Pligin for organizing this match and all players who registered to play. I apologize to the players who couldn't play :/ .. 25 boards was not enough this time. To build FICGS team I selected players with the highest ratings but one cause his rating should be clearly >2000 already. Also IM Mark Noble plays at table 6 because his opponent is another FIDE IM. I wish good games to everyone, this is a great opportunity for us to meet russian chessfriends.

Shpakovsky Alexander, Member # 2185 Edit : There was a mistake while building the games, I had to make a replacement at board 23. Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 15:59:15) Figlio - Schuster Two white losses by Peter in one match - I can't believe it. Why he took so high risk in this special situation (he just has to hold draw in all games)? Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-16 18:22:12) Figlio - Schuster Untrue, tournament entry ratings (TER) are 2576 (Gino) and 2516 (Peter)... Peter had to avoid draws. Gino Figlio (2007-09-16 19:32:15) Schuster-Figlio If you think for a moment that I would have pretended to win a match with 8 draws then you don't know me well. That would have been a dishonor... The match is not over anyway. Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-16 20:45:57) Schuster-Figlio Playing in accordance with the rules can't be dishonor! Gino Figlio (2007-09-16 20:55:09) Schuster-Figlio The rules have nothing to do with honor. Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-16 20:56:42) Schuster-Figlio I agree with that "Playing in accordance with the rules can't be dishonor!", but that's good fighting spirit :) Gino Figlio (2007-09-17 03:24:19) Schuster-Figlio I wasn't trying to come up with a quote :) But again, the rules are created to allow the game to progress to its end without difficulties, prevent conflict and in our case to break a tie. Obviously, in this case I'm in advantage from the start given the tournament rules. That's why if Peter evens the score and it looks like the match will end in a tie, I will resign the last game even if it is a draw. These methods to break ties are ok in blitz or OTB games but in our type of matches where we want the superior player to qualify, it would be a dishonor to take advantage of them. At least I could not do it. Gino Figlio (2007-09-17 06:32:59) Schuster-Figlio Hi Thibault, Thanks for clarifying the current situation, however it does not make it less true that I was in advantage at the start of the tournament. According to tournament rules I would have won with 8 draws. Regarding wins with white, in a round robin you must try to win with white and draw with black. That's normal. In a match, only wins should be counted and not draws. Any other tournament rule intended to break a tie will fall short. A tie is a tie. You try to break it there will always be controversy one way or the other. Have you considered a "blitz" match to break ties in future 8-game matches? 2-4 simultaneous games at 10/10 or 10/15 would be better than a coin toss... Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-17 16:18:47) Schuster-Figlio I have... Definitely I don't like the "speed up" formula, that happened ie. in the Kramnik vs. Topalov match, it changes the nature of the match and adds some more 'random' factors, up to sudden death - White must win - which is no more chess. In our case this wouldn't be correspondence chess anymore (added to potential difficulties to play blitz games). Anyway no rule can break the tie "properly", at least this rule allows the strongest player by rating (in case of 8 draws) to move to the next stage, which is quite logical IMO. Farit Balabaev (2007-09-21 13:07:01) Figlio - Schuster Dier Chessfriends Thank you for the discussion. Please don't forget, that I've just suffered in the match with Schuster. The match with Thibault is an attempt to draw everybody's attention to this rule. Best wishes, Farit Wolfgang Utesch (2007-09-21 16:10:20) Figlio - Schuster I think there is no perfect way to do it right for everyone. Thibault's rule is a compromise (as others) and his special way for matches. There is no reason to cry or to be crazy about - it's just a rule. Thibault by himself just has been victim of his own rule! Andrew Stephenson (2007-09-21 18:52:24) Tie Breaks Farit just to clarify things, you lost your drawn match against Peter Schuster (despite being the higher rated player) because of the rule that the lower rated player wins in the event of a drawn match, where there has been at least one win by the lower rated player. So the 4 draws by you are drawing attention to the problems with the tie break by rating approach (albeit the higher rated player wins if all games drawn part of the rule) Well at least we understand your side of it - that you were actually making a point. Wolfgang I understand the rule is a compromise no need to cry however surely its right to review the experience and see if we can improve? The problem I have, based on the experience, is that it just makes the site look bad and silly to have 4 identical 15 move games. Thats not chess - in my view its absurd. So lets examine the experience and refine the process. A 2 game play off series at a very fast cc time rate ( 1-5 day reserve + 1 day increment)would, I believe, get a result. Its still a compromise because the time for cc is very short. At the same time lets re -think having the championship every 6 months idea - I think thats a big factor behind Thibault's tie break by rating rule. Its leading to overcrowding and its pretty hard to follow perhaps 1 every 9 months or year? Incidentally Thibault how do you break the tie if both have the same TER? Just a thought! Peter Schuster (2007-10-01 10:07:37) New Interface castling Hello, I'm not able to castling in the new interface. When I move the king from e1 to g1 then the rook stays on h1. Only when I write O-O in the text field, the castling is O.K. Best wishes Peter Peter Schuster (2007-10-01 12:39:24) Castling Hello Hannes, thank's for the quick answer. I'll try it at next opportunity. Best wishes, Peter Andrew Stephenson (2007-10-04 20:45:13) Schuster win Witty ending to the Schuster Figlio game. I always feel very uncomfortable as black in this line if e5 or c5 cannot be played. So 15 ..c5!? might do the trick eg 16 cxd5 exd5 17 dxc5 Bxc5 18 Nxd5 Nxd5 19 Rxd5 Bxe3 and it looks like black can hold this. It also gives some point to 6..Be4 inducing f3 and creating a weakness on e3 - although I have never understood why black wants to make white play f3 anyway! Sergey Pligin (2007-10-15 12:27:24) match My opponent Peter Schuster has made a blunder in a game he plays for White, playing with the other knight. Having made this mistake he resigned in both games. I should note the result in the second game is unclear now. Taking into consideration the match is friendly, understanding my opponent's mistake I ask Thibault permission to cancel results of my finished games and recover a position in the Schuster-Pligin game after 23rd Black's move, i.e. one full move back. I hope the players of the iGame team will understand me and accept my decision. It's important for me to continue playing the both games, especially the one I am playing for White. Best regards, Sergey Peter Schuster (2007-10-15 14:05:23) match pligin-schuster Dear Sergey, Thank you very much for your very friendly offer. After my mistake (quick move input) I resign both games because I was so anger about myself. If Thibaut and your team was agree with your suggestion, we continue both games. Best wishes Peter Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-15 14:51:38) pligin-schuster That's great fair play, Sergey. Well, this is an unrated & friendly match, so if your team is ok with that, I'll restore the games. Best wishes, Thibault Miroslav Leskiv (2007-10-15 22:43:09) match Pligin-Schuster The game Pligin-Schuster is one of the most interesting games in match. So, it would very unpleasant, if this game will finish with result unequal to the end position on board. Recover both positions is the best way. Andrey Sumets (2007-10-16 14:00:03) .... I have no any objections to allow recovering of both Pligin - Schuster games. Moreover, I think that this fair play will comletely corespond to the frienly status of this match. Both games between our captain and the finalist of your world championship are extremely interesting and wish them to be recovered a.s.a.p. Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-16 14:55:30) pligin-schuster The games now can continue. Iouri Basiliev (2007-10-17 09:58:08) pligin-schuster Looking forward to the exciting finals. Go IGAME! :) Harry Ingersol (2007-11-11 16:05:14) Number of games limitation I like the IECG Server practice of different levels based on number of games completed on the server. Beginners are limited to a few games while experienced players can have as many as 50 games in progress at a time. It is clear that players like Peter Schuster and Farit Balabaev play high-quality chess even when they have many games in progress. One limit does not fit everyone and experienced players can make an informed decision. Peter Schuster (2008-01-07 17:05:55) Stop the clock My opinion is, that we stop his clock and continue the game after his vacation. I hope that all players agree with this. Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-09 05:42:09) 4th FICGS chess championship The 4th FICGS chess championship just started, it is now much easier to find tournaments (quarter finals, stage 2...) in the Tournaments page. Quarter finals this time are : 1 - Harry Ingersol vs. Mark Noble 2 - Hannes Rada vs. Farit Balabaev 3 - Eros Riccio vs. Marius Zubac 4 - Peter Schuster vs. Thibault de Vassal As a reminder, in case of equality the highest TER in each match qualifies if all games are drawn, the lowest TER qualifies if not all games are drawn. The next stages of the previous championships will start as soon as possible... Have good games ! Thibault de Vassal (2008-01-29 02:26:52) WCH 3 semi finals started The semi finals in the 3rd wch knockout cycle just started : 1. Peter Schuster (2539) - Daniel Brunsteins (2476) 2. Harry Ingersol (2555) - Farit Balabaev (2481) Faites vos jeux, rien ne va plus :) .. Have good games ! Andrew Stephenson (2008-05-15 23:36:07) IECG Hi Hannes Your right Hectors Benoni didn't draw blood but I guess its playable. Actually I dont like to play against it as it provokes a crisis very early on and the hard work starts quickly! On FICGS I think queen side openings are preferred by the top players eg WCH knockout matches - the exception is Peter Schuster who seems to play e4 a lot and is successful with it. Thanks for telling me about Van Osteroom's e4 preference I am keen to see what he plays against c6! - I mean the classical variation. Sorry I dont know too much about the IECG server. Thibault de Vassal (2008-11-01 21:55:48) Chessgames.com I just noticed that a few games played at FICGS were in chessgames.com, ie. this game Peter Schuster vs. Thibault de Vassal (WCH4 QF4, 1-0) http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1507687 Does anyone know how games are selected in chessgames.com ? Maybe we'll find games played here in correspondence chess databases in a while :) There are 1 results for Schuster in wikichess.
