Hi Jim ,
We didn't have a time keeper for our game. So I didn't attend to the game.
I think it is a mistake from my side. Please let me know your decision.
Best Regards,
Tuan

Be sure to observe carefully the below rules. That way, everyone will
have more fun.
Be sure to e-mail your opponent
within 96 hours!
Play and Report your game within
14 days (336 hours) from when the pairings are emailed.
There will be 5 rounds.
Rules for a Swiss Chess Parlor Tournament
1. These rules apply, unless
the TD modifies them.
2. It is expected that each future
TD may make a few changes to the rules.
The TD should email the changes with the Round 1 pairings.
The TD shall give the standings
after each round, especially the final standings.
3. Have fun.
4. A player who violates a rule will forfeit that game, and may be
removed from the tournament.
A removed player comes in last in the tournament.
The Td may also ban that player from the next tournament.
In particular, this applies to failing to communicate with the
opponent within 96 hours.
>If you believe that your
opponent has forfeited, it is primarily your responsibility to report
your win to The list.
You must not forgive the forfeit, because it affects other players in
the tournament.
It is secondarily the responsibility of the tD to report
the win to our list.
Of course a claim of forfeit, like any other claim, can be challenged.
5. Whether playing white or black, contact, within 96 hours, your
opponent for prompt scheduling of your game.
>Reply within 96 hours to
e-mail from your opponent.
Do not be vague.
Propose at least two specific times and dates to play.
>Two of your proposed times
must be at least 12 hours apart.
>These times must be at least
48 hours in the future, and at most 144 hours in the future.
Use our mailing list, chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to do so.
Always give the time in UTC or GMt.
Also give the time In Eastern Time, if you know it.
Schedule your game early, because it should be finished and reported
to the list by 14 days (336 hours) from the emailing of the pairings.
In the subject of any scheduling
email, put the player names in color order and, if possible, the proposed
times.
For example, write:
Scheduling Mary Snow vs John Coal: Proposed Thursday or Monday,
16:00 UTC, Round 3.
Note the new rule to put, if possible, the proposed times right in the
subject.
When replying to a scheduling
email, you must accept one of the proposed times, or you must propose
at least two times of your own.
In your counter-proposal two of your proposed times must be at least 12
hours apart.
Your proposed times must be at least 48 hours in the future
and at most 144 hours in the future.
It is very important that you email your counter-proposal directly to your
opponent, not to our entire chess list!
This will reduce traffic to our list.
Do all you can to cut this traffic!
When the game is finally scheduled, write in the subject: Final
Schedule: Mary Snow vs John Coal, Sunday December 3 at 11:00 UTC:
Round 3, TK Wanted. .
If, for example, Big Ben is the timekeeper, write Final Schedule: Mary

observe the rest of the game.
11. You should be ready to play at least ten minutes before your game
is scheduled to start.
Be ready to play, with your board set up, et cetera.
The game should start at exactly the scheduled time.
If one player is ready to play at the scheduled time, and if the other
is twenty minutes late, the late player loses by forfeit.
>If both players are twenty
minutes late, they both lose by forfeit.
If both players are late and if a player is twenty minutes later than
his opponent, he loses by forfeit.
Suppose that both players are late, but at least one player is less
than twenty minutes late.
When the less late player is ready to move, and if a chess clock is
being used, the opponent's clock will be started.
12. There are three ways for keeping time for the game.
The best case is that there is another player who has volunteered to
keep time with a chess clock.
The first person who volunteers by email is the timekeeper.
He or she need not and should not ask if he or she is acceptable.
The players should not thank the timekeeper by our email list.
The players should thank
their timekeeper before and after the game.
If the scheduled timekeeper is late and if someone else is willing to
be timekeeper,
the latter person becomes the
timekeeper.
If then the first timekeeper shows up, the latter timekeeper may but need
not
give the timekeeping task back to the first timekeeper.
The timekeeper is considered to be the Assistant Tournament Director.
When a chess clock is being used, you must make at least 30 moves in
the first hour of your time.
You must make at least 60 moves in your first 2 hours.
You must make at least 90 moves in your first 3 hours, etc.
When a player announces his or her move clearly, the timekeeper should
start the clock of the other player.
The timekeeper should not wait for the
repeat of the move.
As a courtesy, the timekeeper will try to announce the times remaining
when the slower player has left about 40 minutes, 20 minutes,
10minutes, and 5 minutes.
>The timekeeper will announce
When time control is reached.
If a player asks the timekeeper for the times remaining, the>He or she will stop the clock during these announcements.
timekeeper should make sure the asking player cloc is running while
the timekeeper is getting and telling the times remaining.
A second way is for
one of the players to use a chess clock
You are encouraged to use
freechess.org
or Lichess.

increment per move.
When you successfully use
freechess.org, you will receive 5
Good Citizen points, and so will your opponent!
>13. Each player must keep score.
This means writing down the moves for both sides.
>Second best is to make an audio recording of the moves.
This is useful in some
disputes and in reviewing your game to learn.
14. Within 24 hours, the winner of the game is responsible for
reporting the result to the
freechess
list.

If the responsible player
fails to report the game in 24 hours, the opponent should report the
result.
If the opponent fails to do this within 48 hours, he or she gets a 1
point penalty.
The game should be finished and the result reported by the deadline.
If a player is physically
unable to keep score, he or she should arrange before the game for
someone to keep score.
This might be someone who

machine-readable form.
If the player who cannot>This could be the opponent, the timekeeper, or someone> > else.
keep score wins, for example,
>someone else would be responsible for reporting the result.
If a third person kept time,
the report should include
his
or her name.
If a chess clock was used,
the report should include the times remaining for each player.
Note that the result, but not necessarily the moves, must be reported.
Either player or the third-person timekeeper, if any, may choose to
send the moves to our list.
15. The TD may give a warning or assess a penalty to a player.
>The penalty may range from
one point to a forfeit.
>A win is worth ten points.
A draw is worth four points for each player.
A loss is given 0.
>A forfeit gets minus one.
A forfeit will be given, for example, for not showing up for an
appointed game without notice.
If you can’t show up for a
game, send e-mail to the
Freechess list.
You will be penalized only
one point.

Please obey the rules promptly.
That way, you will incur no penalties, and the tournament should
proceed smoothly.
16. Generally, the rules of
chess and blind chess will apply.
Players should communicate in English.
Say "castle kingside" or "castle queenside."
>Use the International
Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, > >that is, for A through H, say
alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, foxtrot,
golf, and hotel.
For the letter f, you must use foxtrot, not fox, which
can
sound like golf.
>For example, a game may
Start:1. Echo 4 Echo5.
2. knight to foxtrot 3, knight to foxtrot 6.
3. knight takes echo 5, et
cetera.
>> >Of course the opponent
repeats each move after it is announced.

>17. If a player announces a
legal move, but the opponent has not repeated it, the player may
change his or her move.
>If the opponent has repeated
it, the move stands.
18. The decision of the TD is final.
>He or she will try to be
fair.
If the TD as player is involved in a dispute (which
has
>never happened yet), a fair
mechanism for resolution will be set up.
>19. Your moves should be the
product of your own brain.
>Help from a computer or
other person is cheating and is prohibited.
Such help during an
adjournment is also prohibited.
Make your relatively obvious
moves quickly.
That way, time is saved, and you will not be suspected of
>getting help from a
computer.
20. If the tournament results in a tie for first place, there will be
a playoff round for those tied players.

>If there is still a tie,

You get 2 GC points for being a third person timekeeper.
If you do not know how to be a timekeeper with our software chess
clock, you can ask to be taught. This could earn you and your
teacher 2 GC points.
