nice but how to play untitled tuesday

ScarletPhoenix009

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm not titled

MGleason

That would require chess.com to sign off on it.

@thealexandar36, join one of our tournaments.  They're every Tuesday, and once a month on Saturday.

TheEvergreenWarrior

sorry I didn't get your point

1) Only Untitled can play in Untitled Tuesday and only Titled can play in Titled Tuesday . So it won't be great if a untitled player plays in it 

2) If I am not wrong , this club is not run by chess.com , it is just run by one of there mods . And Titled Tuesday is run by chess.com .

Ohk

That would be really cool though, if Chess.com did ever sign on it, but it would increase cheating tenfold because many people would kill for a spot like that.

That's not a bad idea! I don't know how the titled players would feel about it, and as others pointed out, it would require the sign-off of chess.com. But it would be a nice reward.

USCF CM is not recognised as a title by chess.com, and therefore they are eligible for Untitled Tuesday but not Titled Tuesday.

I'd love to have Untitled Tuesday winners get to play in Titled Tuesday, but I can't authorise that myself, and it might actually require a bit of development work on chess.com's part to make it possible.

I don't think titled players would object.  The Untitled Tuesday winner would of course have to pass fair play checks before they get in (and would get monitored during Titled Tuesday too), and wouldn't have any chance of finishing in a top spot among all the GMs and IMs.

Obviously no one will ever get in the top at that level of competition 😆😆. And anyways it will be a boon to just play these guys

I wouldnt actually underestimate some of the members here . There are 8 players over 2500 and are better than many of the Titled Players ( At least in rating ) . If someone  high rated does play in the Titled Tuesday , they will win some matches even thought they might not end up in the top 8 but will surely not end up last ... This is online chess , completely different from OTB .

Agreed but top 8 is definitely not possiblegrin.png

Yeah, there are some people in here who could compete with the CMs and FMs and win some games, and might manage the occasional upset win against an IM or even a GM in fast time controls.  But they would consider a tournament where they win 3-4 games a success.  Top 8 is out of reach.

I'd expect the very best players of UTT to score less than 50%. They would win *some* games, and may even get to play a couple of GMs. But they wouldn't get a plus score. Few NMs get plus scores in those events. Still, it'd be a great honor! 

(To test my hypothesis, take a look at the scores of the top UTT players against titled players in casual games where the titled players aren't highly motivated.)

SmyslovFan

Logistically, the player would have to submit to the same rules as all titled players (I think they use Skype, don't they). And a tournament director would probably have to allow that player in manually, which could be a sticking point. The third hurdle would be persuading titled players paired against the UTT champion that it's not a mistake.

what about uscf cms

If chess.com recognized USCF CM titles, I'd be motivated to apply for a CM title based on my performances before the system was created! (I had earned  the "Advanced Expert for Life" title when they had such titles. That didn't last long tho.)

Making the winner play titled Tuesday will definitely blow up the club with lot of members and participants 

SmyslovFan

Yes, it would! I think it's a great idea. We just need someone on the inside to make it happen. If it were to work, I'd propose that each week's winner gets to go up the next week. The Saturday tnmt people would be out of luck, but there could potentially be a different UTT rep in the TT every week!
