Season 01: Swiss 45m+45s (5 Rd, 1 Rd every 2 weeks) start May 8th, 2022 (FINISHED)

Hi everyone.

I created this Team mainly or initially for practicing 90m+30s only and I will not change that.

Recently a lot of members are asking me for the popular 45m+45s time control.

For some who are not able to spend 3 - 4 hours time for 90+30, here I open invitation for 45m+45s.

NOTE : I will open this 45.45 just occasionally, as our main will always be 90.30

All players from all rating category are invited, as it will be Swiss system with 5 rounds - time span for each round will be 2 weeks.

For anyone who's interested, please write in comment section, then I will add you.

Kind Regards,
Chien

I would prefer a 45|45 time format.

I will participate in a 45|45 tournament. - David

I am also interested in playing games time control 45/45.

I will also participate.  Thanks!

Count me in!

I'm interested. Please add me to the list of players.

Please include me in the list of players, too.

Ok 10 players are ready to play,  good even number, so nobody will need a Bye in a round.

Here is the Link of 1st round pairing :
https://swisssystem.org/Tournament/Details/7b364d5d67d74470871f10986472864a 

Round 1 schedule : May 08 - May 21.

Time control is : 45m+45s

You will negotiate (privately via chess.com inbox message) with your opponent for the agreed date/time for playing the game.
After both of you agreed, then please write at comment section about date/time you will play it.

Once any game is finished, please write at comment section with format :
" Round number#, player1 (W) vs player2 (B), result , and game link"

NOTE :

* From my experience, if the difference rating of 2 players are too high, then the challenge often did not work.

What you should do is, either :
- 1 of you (or both of you) add Friend Request to the other. After you two had become Friend, then the challenge will usually work well.
- or setup the Unrated game.

* Anyone can still "Late-Join" for the next Rounds, they will have 0.5 Bye as starting point.

Have fun, everyone !

I would like to join starting in round 2. Many thanks!

Hi @Rsava .  ok noted.

and in case  .. if in few days from now . there is another player who 'Late-Join' as you do , then do you want to paired with him immediately for starting at Rd-1 ?

Yes, that would be fine with me. 

Ok , i will join too!

Special note to  @Rsava and @opto_007  :

As you both Late-Join for Rd-1, but still very early before Rd-1 start tomorrow (May 8), then I will pair you both manually for Rd-1, as follow :

Rsava (W) vs opto_007 (B)

Anyone who decided to Late-Join since now,  will not play in Rd-1 ,

but instead they will get 0.5 Bye and start to play in Rd-2.

With Rsava and opto_007 are joining us in Rd-1, we have total 12 players, which is great!

@deformationretract has entered as 13th player.
He will Late-Join at Rd-2 starting with 0.5 Bye

I'm signing in

@Beeonhoney has entered as 14th player.
He will Late-Join at Rd-2 starting with 0.5 Bye

Thanks @opto_007, see you then. Hopefully I can give you some sort of a challenge. 

NOTE : rsava and opto_007 are not showed at Rd-1 pairing, as they are paired manually (after Pairing of Rd-1 out).
As opto_007 win vs Rsava today, then : Opto_007 will start Rd-2 with 1 pts, and Rsava will start Rd-2 with 0 pts, and will be included at Rd-2 pairing as usual.
