EPTGame Over. The World 1-0 qrs.
Moving on with the game from this unfortunate failure...
TL Chess Match 7.01 is a continuation of TL Chess Match 7 under modified rules.
The rules and procedures are outlined below.
Rules TL;DR
- No computers.
- 48 hours/move for White; 48 hours + possible 24 hour extension/move for Black.
- DO NOT edit your posts in this thread while the game is running.
- DO NOT vote for White moves when it's still Black's turn. If you do so, that vote will be counted as illegal.
- Make action posts (team joining/voting) in the specified formats. Details in the Full Rules and Procedures below.
- VERY IMPORTANT: The status of the game is determined by the thread, not the OP. Check the thread before voting!
- Unsigned yet? You may join the game at any time! To do so, post "##JOIN The World" in this thread.
Full Rules and Procedures
Teams
Teams
- The game will take place between The World (formerly: Team Orient) and qrs, playing alone, only with Calgar as his second (formerly: Team Occident). All former Team Occident members willing to play on, are now playing White.
- The game will start from the position that occured after White's 9th move (9. f2-f3) in Chess Match #7.
- Any TL user is free to sign up for The World team at any time until the game ends.
Time Controls
- The World has precisely 48 hours for each move. Moves shall not be played early and there are no extensions.
- qrs has 48 hours for each move plus possible 24 hours of an extension everytime he has to be off the internet for a longer period of time. The number of his extensions is undetermined, but there can't be more than one extension at a time. Like in The World's case, qrs' moves shall not be played early.
- The game will (re)start at September 11th, 13:00 PM KST. From that point on, qrs' 48-hour clock will start ticking.
Refereeing
- I, wingpawn, will referee this game and update the OP accordingly. Whenever the OP is updated, there will be also an update posted on the course of a thread.
- There might be times when I won't be able to post the update. In case of that, please note that the status of the game is determined by the thread, not the OP.
- For this reason, posting rules must be particularly strict, in order that all players can easily determine the latest moves in the game for themselves, from this thread. The posting rules are as follows:
Posting
- During the game, a player's post may be edited only until the point of his team's next move. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES may he edit that post subsequently to this point. Any player who does so is automatically banned from this game; that is, he is removed from 'The World' team and his votes no longer count. This is harsh, but necessary in order for the game to function predictably to everyone, since an edit can mask any earlier post, including a vote.
- All posts that perform an action (joining a team or casting a vote) must follow the specified format in order to make them easily findable by search. The formats are:
- To join the game: ##JOIN The World
- To vote for a move: ##VOTE [move number, followed by period if White and ellipsis if Black] [move, preferably in long algebraic notation]
- If the move isn't in long algebraic notation, it will still be counted as long as it's unambiguous, but please try to stick to that notation if possible.
- To vote for a draw offer/acceptance, resignation, or playing on: ##[move number, followed by period if White and ellipsis if Black] [DRAW/RESIGN/PLAY ON]
- Note: a vote for a move without a vote for a draw or resignation is considered a default vote for playing on.
- To join the game: ##JOIN The World
- Multiple actions may be performed in a single post.
- All actions that do not conform to the above formats will officially not be counted.
- Please avoid quoting a vote!
Tallying Votes
- At the deadline for each The World's move, the vote tallies determine
- what move to play if the game continues.
- whether to extend/accept a draw offer, resign, or play on.
- Note: a vote for a move without a vote for a draw or resignation is considered a default vote for playing on.
- what move to play if the game continues.
- These votes are tallied independently and decided by plurality.
- Ties are broken by discarding the most recent votes [as determined by last-edited time] until a plurality emerges.
- Only valid votes are tallied. These are votes that
- conform exactly to the specified format
- Note: the reason for this is to make votes easily tallyable via search. Therefore, case can be ignored, since most default search functions, especially in browsers, ignore case. Everything else about the format must be exact.
- are posted by a member of the team whose turn it is to move at the moment the vote is posted.
- appear in posts that were last edited before the deadline for that move.
- conform exactly to the specified format
Game Rules
- The game will be played according to the generally accepted Rules of Chess.
- The game will conclude per the first of the following conditions to be reached
- the game concludes per the usual rules of chess
- a team fails to make a legal move by its deadline, in which case that team loses by forfeit.
- A six-man position is reached, in which case the game's outcome is determined by tablebase.
- Note: in this connection, the 50-move rule is not considered—i.e., if the game has reached a six-man position, the game is over. A draw cannot be claimed by pointing out that, were the game played out further, it would take more than 50 (non-capturing, non-pawn-advancing) moves to checkmate.
- the game concludes per the usual rules of chess
- Computer analysis is prohibited. This rule cannot be strictly enforced, but in the event that a player posts computer analysis to a team forum and I am made aware of this, the analysis in question will be posted to the main thread, and the user who posted it will be banned from this game.
- Opening databases, endgame tablebases, and human friends may be consulted.
- Everyone's basically on the honor system here, but the purpose of this game is to have fun, so please respect the rules on this point.
- Opening databases, endgame tablebases, and human friends may be consulted.
That's pretty much it. Neutral luck and have fun!
