Entry fee for higher class tournament
Michel van der Kemp - I think you need to read, or re-read all of the comments and proposals, discussions again.
The key feature of this is that a person has to win their own rating group tournament in either standard or rapid before being able to enter a higher division.
There is no case where anyone can just buy a spot into a higher division. They have to first earn the privilege. Then in simple terms they would only be using the epoints collected from their win of said division.
I really do hope you have read the previous comments over the few threads that have eventuated on this topic, as they are crucial to understand the concept.
I have spent quite a lot of time typing out proposals and thoughts on this idea, so if you have not read them and instead just come into the forum and protested at the first thing you think it wrong, then I will be rather pissed off at you and anyone else that does it.

Entry fee for higher class tournament
I just dont like the possibility to buy oneself tickets for higher tournaments. What's next? Next FIDE world championship challenger is going to be the one that brings the largest bag of money to the table?
Perhaps a commercial aspect to this justifies this idea. I know it's a lot of work to keep a site like this running, and FICGS gets many improvements all the time. It makes sense to get some revenue out of it, to compensate so much work.
Michel van der Kemp (2010-04-27 10:44:40)
Entry fee for higher class tournament
For reasons already mentioned by others I would be opposed to people being able to buy themselves tickets to higher tournaments.
The idea of earning a ticket for a higher tournament by winning a tournament seems fair, and seems similar to what ICCF has. I would be in favour of that idea.

Congrats to David Evans!
David Evans wins this 2nd FICGS freestyle cup!
Here are the final standings (please note that the FICGS crosstable may be slightly different from the pairing software's one) :
1. Evans, David : 4,5 / 6 games played (berg 11,75)
2-3. Petrolo, Mauro : 4 / 6 games played (berg 12,5)
2-3. Taylor, William : 4 / 5 games played (berg 9,5)
4. van der Kemp, Michel : 3,5 / 5 games played (berg 6,75)

9-10. Gray, Garvin : 1,5 / 3 games played (berg 3,25)
Of course and unfortunately, the number of "played games" includes losses on time without playing. There were numerous problems with access providers during this tournament...

Issues + New pairings
Hi Garvin, what is your browser ? I guess that you use cookies so your problem is quite strange to me as the links posted in the forum only open a new window (that should use the same session - works fine on Firefox & Chrome, at least)...
About the freestyle tournament, I just tried to add a new player during the tournament and the software seems to accept it. Finally I think it cannot be bad to authorize players to enter the waiting list until the end of the tournament, so I just added this rule.
Consequently the pairings for round 4 changed :
Table 1 : Boehme - Taylor
Table 2 : Evans - Pichelin
Table 3 : van der Kemp - Petrolo
Table 4 : Moreira - de Vassal
Table 5 : Gray - Nichols
Sorry to the players for this update, but I'm still trying to find the best rules for this kind of tournaments.
Thibault de Vassal (2010-04-03 22:13:23)
Round 4 - Pairings
Hi all, the freestyle tournament will continue on April 10... A very interesting tournament but I hope we'll have less problems with our *$@#&% internet providers this time.
Here are the pairings for round 4, I'm BYE this time.
Table 1 : Boehme - Taylor
Table 2 : Evans - Pichelin
Table 3 : Moreira - Petrolo
Table 4 : van der Kemp - Nichols

Weird technical problem
Thibault, thanks for organising this nice tournament. Lot of fun. I lost my first game against Xavier Pichelin, which I will totally accept, Xavier played excellent. However I do have a weird question.

It says last move send g7-h7. How did I actually lose this game if the server still received my move? The result of the game came as a little shock to me, because I thought I had about 10 seconds left when I send the move, and the server did receive it as well, and somehow registered it.
Anyway I should have been faster and accept my loss.
Michel van der Kemp (2010-01-05 16:55:19)
If anyone could comment any game...
Thank you.
Would it also be possible to link the new comments back to the forum? So people now which comments were made? Or some other way to browse through the comments?
Could be interesting if some high class players would comment their games.

Andersson & computers
I would think Anderson used all the help he could get, since he is a professional. So if a computer could help him achieve what he needed he would use that.
But mind you this is a maybe 5 years ago, when rybka was unknown, and computers like Fritz were the best engines. Back then humans were still (somewhat) thought to be superior I think, at least in strategical positions. So maybe he didn't use computer assistence.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-11-30 12:51:02)
Andersson
Didn't Ulf Andersson become ICCF World Champion? At least I remember a game where he beat then world champion Gert Timmerman (2200-2300 FIDE rating) with black. I know for a fact he was at one point the highest rated player in ICCF.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-11-13 19:26:27)
If I really want to delve into it
If I really want to delve into a position, I let two different engines analyze a position. If I'm out to win, I let both engines look for closed lines that don't lead to quick exchanges, unless they lead to clear advantages.
If engines evaluate a certain position very different, then those moves will catch my interest very quick, because those are the lines that may be highly imbalanced. I let both engines descend into those lines playing them against each other, and when you see the evaluation of one of the engines drop or go up, then it's a good time to draw a conclusion.
I hope that was clear a bit.
So yes it's good to have multiple engines.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-11-13 10:38:55)
Hi
I think for pretty much all these questions you are on your own. On the web you will find many rankings on how certain engines perform, mainly whilst playing other engines. All engines are able to make nice sacrifices or play positionally, as long as it doesn't go beyond their calculation horizon. If we as humans want to make decisions with a little help from our computers, well that's what determines if you are a top player I guess. But if there was a recipe to become such a player, I wish I knew it :)
Experience, and good understanding yourself is the key I guess.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-11-05 16:19:28)
Luck
Luck does not explain why the same poker players are always at the end tables of the poker tours. So there is definitely skill involved. I think the draw of the cards is more important than skill though, anyone can beat anyone.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-11-04 16:37:28)
#2
I don't want others to make comments about my moves, good nor bad comments. Perhaps after the game I would comment but only when my opponent asks for it.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-10-10 09:26:50)
Weekend
I agree the weekend will be better for most people, so I vote for the Friday, Saturday, Sunday option.
But maybe the c option is viable as well. From my experience freestyle is more a matter having better opening books and then a faster computer, and faster time controls is not necessarily a bad thing.
But I like to hear Eros Riccio's opinion on that.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-10-04 20:29:38)
IECG stopping
Today IECG announced that they will be stopping per 2010. The LSS Chessserver run by Ortwin Paetzold will more or less take over. Perhaps Thibault should advertise a bit at IECG for this server. :)
Michel van der Kemp (2009-09-19 08:58:08)
ICCF uses no rating bands
Maybe this was the reason ICCF has qualification tournaments to get into higher tiers. You win a tournament and are qualified to play in a higher tier, regardless your rating. Of course that also means new players will always start in the lowest tier and getting to a tier that suits them is a long long road.
I don't know how hard it is to implement this, but it would solve the rating issues.

My rating went down after winning a game :)
Michel van der Kemp (2009-07-02 11:56:00)
Chucky
Ivanchuk lost a lot of rating points, but it would have been OK if FIDE had recognised a tournament he won convincingly, in which case he would have had almost 30 points more. Perhaps this is a hidden punishment from FIDE for Ivanchuk's doping incident during the chess olympiad in Germany earlier this year.
Pity how politics can influence our game.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-06-04 10:01:38)
re
Offering a draw is one thing, offering a draw in several consecutive moves is another. I would think that is harassment, especially when the other player has answered politely he thinks he has chances. Harassment should be fought.
I remember a case in FIDE tournament, where one player would offer a draw with each move. The player was first warned by referee, and when he didn't stop, was expelled from tournament.
One could argue if consecutive draw offers in correspondence chess should still be considered harassment, but it is still irritating to say the least.
Michel van der Kemp (2009-04-15 00:38:58)
Ticking box should be only valid way
I also think that checking the box is the only valid way to make a draw offer, written statement should not be accepted. At best it could be a possibility that if someone receives a written request for a draw offer, he could goto the referee (in this case Thibault), and ask how to do with an (invalid) draw offer.
I don't think Thibault should go through logs of games everytime (even if that can be automated), to see if a players have offered a draw.

Michel van der Kemp (2008-11-24 12:57:14)
Another request
Since you are obviously not busy at all, Thibault: would it be possible to show the betting history just for a specific hand? I understand it can be seen from the 'moves', but it's not in a human-friendly format. It's difficult to see where an old hand ended and a new hand starts, for example, or just the numbers is hard to decipher what was going on. It would be great if we could get a history something like this, perhaps on the right of the board?: Player 1: raises with 3 (Pot: 4) Player 2: checks (Pot:6) Dealer: deals flop (Pot: 6) Player 1: checks (Pot: 6) Player 2: raises with 4 (Pot: 10) etc. This way it's easy to see the history of the hand.
Michel van der Kemp (2008-11-19 16:53:18)
E-mails
It's what I meant. For the time being I have solved it in my mail client to send all poker mails to garbage bin, but it's best to control it on your server. Bandwidth is never unlimited :)
Michel van der Kemp (2008-11-19 16:29:09)
Poker e-mails
Hi Thibault, Thanks for adding this game. One questions/feature I am looking for: would it be possible to hold e-mails for these poker games alone, when I still receive e-mails for chess (or go if I were to play go games).
Michel van der Kemp (2008-11-19 13:35:44)
Gratz
Gratz on implementing. I might give it a go, as long as I am not robbed from my pants.
Michel van der Kemp (2008-10-21 12:59:31)
Very weird
Very weird how Kramnik first declines Anand's pawn sacrifice on d4, when he plays Re1, but then later takes on d4 anyway. If he had thought d4 to be bad in the first place, why on earth did he decide to take it later?
I start to believe Fischer, when he said that all championships after 1972 have been pre-arranged :)
