Hi, Salut, Ciao, Hola Viral
I would like to know which is the language that has to be spoken in
the tournament, the regulations do not say it.
It would be great if all languages were accepted and thus have a
translator.
Thanks
Salut viral
Je voudrais savoir quelle est la langue qui doit être parlée dans le
tournoi, le règlement ne le dit pas.
Ce serait formidable si toutes les langues étaient acceptées et donc
d'avoir un traducteur.
Merci
Ciao Viral
Vorrei sapere qual è la lingua da parlare nel torneo, il regolamento
non lo dice.
Sarebbe fantastico se tutte le lingue fossero accettate e quindi
avessero un traduttore.
Grazie
Hola Viral
Me gustaría saber cual es el idioma que se tiene que hablar en el
torneo el reglamento no lo dice.
Sería excelente que se aceptaran todos los idiomas y así tener un
traductor.
Gracias

possible in order to schedule the game. When both players have come to
an agreement
on the date and time of their game, one of the players or the captain
of one of the teams transmits this information to the organizers by
writing to
skype_chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
so that other participants are able to follow the game. If the player
is not available to play his or her game in the scheduled time, the

player should not
exceed 20 minutes. A player loses the game if he shows up more than 30
minutes after the scheduled start of the game.
23. The games can also be played on Skype. The organizers provide a
conference link for each game. An arbiter from the 2 teams facing one
another, which
has been chosen beforehand, takes care of the game. He or she follows
the game on his or her own chessboard, checks whether moves played are
legal moves,
writes the moves, and keeps a record of the time using a chess clock
or any other tool. If a player loses the connection to the conference,
the arbiter
stops the clock until the player is able to come back. The waiting
time should not exceed 20 minutes. The game can be adjourned to a
suitable date and
time should this happen. On the other hand, the arbiter must not stop
the clock if a player has a phone call or a visitor. Players are not
required to
write the moves.
24. Moves must be announced using either the system recommended by
FIDE (Anna, Bella, Cesar, David, Eva, Felix, Gustav, Hector), or the
international alphabet

is announced Eva 4 or Echo 4.
25. As soon as a player announces his move, the arbiter starts the
opponent's clock. The player may, however, take his move back if the
opponent has not
yet repeated it. Correctly repeating the opponent's move is mandatory.
If the two players don't speak the same language, the translator makes
sure that
both players have understood the announced move and have correctly
repeated it. In case of a dispute on the announced move or any other
fact of the game,
the players continue the game following the arbiter's instructions.
Then, they can make a complaint to the organizers, who make a final
decision. The two
players must have their microphone permanently open. The spectators,
meanwhile, are required to mute their microphone during the game. In
any case, they
must not intervene on the progress of the game, or try to influence
the arbiter's decisions. All arbiters are required to audio record
the game if it’s
played on Skype.
26. Every player is obliged to respect his opponent and the arbiter.
The arbiter of the game may issue a warning to the player who does not
comply with
this rule. If the player persists, the arbiter may give him a loss.
27. No penalty is applied in case of illegal move.

TD will have no option but to give forfeit.
Depending on the circumstances, the players may still reschedule the
29. At the end of the game, the arbiter transmits the result and the
moves of the game to the organizers by writing to
skype_chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

to them, they decide
to give a win by forfeit to one of the players, and a loss by forfeit
to his opponent, or to give both players a loss by forfeit, or to set
the result
of the game as a draw.
