This is the parings for R2 of Qualification 4545 Tourney #22. All the games must be completed by July 28 at 19:00 UTC. The pairings will show down below.

The Rules (Shortened Version)

The players must use their Forum of Discussion to communicate with the other player. No other mean of communication is acknowledged. Click your username in the pairings to access.

The Protocol Of Discussion

The first player to enter the Forum of Discussion (FD) must make at least 3 Initial Game Offers (IGO) to the opponent. See the definition of an IGO below.

The second player to enter the Forum of Discussion must either:

  1. Accept one of the opponent’s Initial Game Offers as is. Or...
  2. If accepting anything is impossible, the second player must make at least 3 counter Initial Game Offers. See more about the IGO below.

If after both players have offered the other player with at least 3 IGOs no agreement has been found, then the players will keep trying for a solution. Anytime during the discussion the players will keep using their Forum of Discussion.

If after the players have done their best to agree no deal is possible, the game will duly be called a draw by the TD.

The “3 Initial Game Offers” (IGO).

  1. IGO #1 must propose a game that would start at least 36 hours after posting time.
  2. IGO #2 must offer a game that would start at least 3 hours after IGO #1.
  3. IGO #3 must propose a game that would start at least 24 hours after IGO #1.
  4. At least 2 out of 3 IGOs must fit in your opponent’s Normal Playing Time (NPT). The NPT is defined as "starting anytime between 8:00 local and 21:00 local. A hyperlink leading to a Time Zone Converter is supplied in your Forum of Discussion.

In other words, we want at least 3 hours that separate 2 IGOs. And 24 hours or more between the chronologically 1st IGO and the last one.
