Subject: [usbca_chess] Re: Next Real-time Tournament
Hi, Jim Slagle, Jim Thoune, and all.
I agree. Standard classical chess with the time controls Jim Slagle mentioned
is perfect. Maybe, do a four or five round gig with two weeks for each round.
That seems to be working out well for the Summer Team Tournament, so seems good
here, too.

I prefer an ordinary swiss tournament.
We could speed up the time rules as follows.
The first 30 moves must be made in 60 minutes.
The whole game must be finished in 120 minutes.
Best wishes,
Jim Slagle

Curtis, and all USBCAers,
The USBCA very definitely Does still have a Realtime, i.e. skype, division.
I am the Assistant TD in charge of it. Unfortunately, the last, what,
three months or so have been so chaotic in my life, not to mention so
totally overrun with more tournaments than most mortals can keep up
with, that it just didn’t seem feasible to try to organize yet another one.
Having said that, allow me to use this note to call for player
interest. I am considering a chess960 tournament, with a time control
of 30/60 cumulative, or perhaps a normal Swiss with a somewhat
compressed time schedule. I’m thinking possibly game/60. If you are
interested in one of those, or if you have yet another suggestion,
please let me know during the next week.
I’m thinking that rounds will be two weeks in length. For reasons
which I won’t go into just yet, I’d like to have the tournament run
from the beginning of August through the end of September, keeping
those last three months clear for purposes to be named later.
Let me hear from you,
Jim T

Subject: [usbca_chess] Real Time Division? Does it still exist?
Hello All,
A lot of people ask me, "Does the US BCA still have a Real Time
(Skype) Division?". I don't know the answer, so I am posting it to the list.
