Apothecary Chess Tournament[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Aurelian Florea wrote on Fri, Nov 27, 2020 11:01 AM UTC:

I have tested the final presets for apothecary chess. They have shown no more trouble. I was wondering if people will be interested in an apothecary chess tournament. Here are the preliminary rules should it happen.

Each round a player plays a game of apothecary chess-classic and apothecary chess modern
In order to avoid bye, myself will play only if the number of players is odd
The tournament is a double round robin if there are 4 players, a single round robin if there are 6 or 8 players. A swiss system with 6 rounds if there are 10 or more players.
Should the tournament be a swiss system the pairings in round one will be random
Remember that there is a possibility that a game has finished 0.75-0.25. This will be used in rankings
Time controls are 1 move/day
There are no prices except for the honor of winning the tournament!

Edit : Please express interest by commenting in this post.

Sorry - I will be moving soon so I can't take on any large commitments right now ...

@Greg, Ok!

Aurelian Florea wrote on Wed, Dec 2, 2020 04:07 AM UTC:

We are 4 players now, so the tournament format will be a double round robin. I propose we wait until Friday. If now one else wants to join until then, we will start the tournament with 4 players. Is that ok?

ok with me

Erik Lerouge wrote on Wed, Dec 2, 2020 07:42 AM UTC in reply to Aurelian Florea from 04:07 AM:

It's ok for me. But maybe you could wait a little more to see if other people are interested. Not everyone who could be potentially interested reads regularly the comments section. You could also already create an 'official' page for the tournament (I don't know how to do that).

Aurelian Florea wrote on Wed, Dec 2, 2020 08:10 AM UTC:

I don't know how to do that either!

Remember that apothecary chess games may end in advantage which worth 0.75-0.25 points. That even if that the website does not recognize that.

I have assigned the 1st round matches!

Round 1 is finished! So far Erik and Daniel have 2 points and I and Oisin have zero. In maximum a day I'll start the second round!

Aurelian Florea wrote on Tue, Jan 5, 2021 11:37 AM UTC in reply to Aurelian Florea from 10:13 AM:

Round 2 games have been assigned!

Aurelian Florea wrote on Fri, Jan 8, 2021 01:56 PM UTC:

Unfortuneatly I cannot get to Oisin(sxg) in any way! If this goes on he will loose on time his round 2 match!

Aurelian Florea wrote on Sun, Jan 10, 2021 06:28 AM UTC in reply to Aurelian Florea from Fri Jan 8 01:56 PM:

I noticed you are back, Oisin. Thanks!

Erik Lerouge wrote on Tue, Jan 12, 2021 04:06 PM UTC:

In our game the preset doesn't let me do the move I want, because it says that I am in check (while I am not). So I cannot play my move as I intended.

I'll check it!
