Zurich Catagory 23 and wonky rules

Avatar of niceforkinmove

I was pretty excited about this tournament,  but then I read the rules.

 

win =2 points draw 1 and loss 0.  Frown

Also they are going to incorporate rapid games. Frown

Why is there such a push to dilute classical chess? 

 

Just out of curiousity does anyone really care who wins a rapid tournament?  For those who do care do you also care who wins a blitz tournament or a blindfold?

Whats the actual difference between 2 points for win and 1 for draw and the classical 1 and 0,5? Actually even 543.7 for draw and 1087.4 for win is the same, but that's little bit less convenient.

But I agree with your idea that adding rapid chess isn't goodFrown

You know EveniyZh I admit I think I had that system confused with the 3-1-0 system.  

 

It doesn't make much difference and actually if you must add in rapid games but you don't want the rapids to count as much it seems a pretty decent way to go.   The rapid games count as 1-.5-0 so a win in classical chess sort of counts like 2 wins in rapid.  

 

Thanks for the comment.
