Mid-week sparring match 45m+45s, Wed, Dec 21, 17:00 EST (22:00 UTC)
Hi everyone,
A sparring match event in the mid-week, with manual pairing system.
Time control: 45m+45s (Rated), and you will play 1 game only.
Played on: Wed, Dec 21, 17:00 EST (22:00 UTC)
You will register by writing down in comment section: Your chess.com nick, your current Rapid Rating when registered
On Wed 16:30 EST / 21:30 UTC (which is 30 minutes before the starting time), I will post the pairing at comment section. (I will not send the message to your Inbox, so please check this page regularly before the starting time).
I will list the players from highest rating to lowest rating.
For example: if there are 6 players
Player#1 (highest rating)
Player#2 (2nd rank)
Player#3 (3rd rank)
Player#4 (4th rank)
Player#5 (5th rank)
Player#6 (6th rank)
Then I will set the pairing as follow:
Player#1 (White) vs Player#2 (Black)
Player#3 (White) vs Player#4 (Black)
Player#5 (White) vs Player#6 (Black) .. and so on
This way, the 2 players with closest rating with play each other.
NOTE:
- If there are odd number of players, then 1 player will have BYE- he/she will wait to be paired with the closer player whose opponent did not show up.
- If your opponent did not show up, please Inbox Message me asap, then I will try my best to pair you with the other closer player whose opponent did not show up as well.
- When needed then I (as house player) will play against any player whose opponent did not show up.
Please register early if you are interested.
