You will play 2 games (with Time control 90m+30s, Rated) with both colors within 1 month time frame.
Grace period: 20 min.
Starting time of Semi-Final is Oct 01 until the deadline is Oct 31.
The 2 players will negotiate (via DM/ chess com private message) to find the day/time to play their 2 games.
* If the match result is 1-1 Tie, there will be no Tie-Break, then the winner of the Round is the Player with lower Rating (Rating we refer here is Rating when players registered).
* If the 1st game has been won by the lower Rated player, then the match has been won by him and both players can agree to skip (not to play) the 2nd game, although it's advisable to play the 2nd game, as the purpose of the tourney is for practice as much games as possible.
* please report me by DM, or by leaving comment in this forum page, about: day/ time you will play your game, result and game link.

To register, please leave your name, and current Rapid Rating in comment section.
- Before you register, pls consider time commitment you need for this tourney (to avoid unnecessary Forfeited game).
- 90m+30s game can be finished as long as 3 until 4 hr (or even a little bit more) if both players used all their time.
- Within 1 month span, you must find time play 2 games (no need to play 2 games in a row at same day), but you should better play in 2 different days.
- When the tournament finished, you all will play Total 6 games within 3 months, because in this K.O system the loser from previous round will still be pair with another Loser player.
As soon as there are 16 players registered, I will close the registration & post the Quarter-Final pairing.
Thank you
