Hi

 

I was wondering if someone could explain or tell me where i can find information about tournament structures. I understand the rating part, but I'm confused about the typ of game that is played.

 

Blitz and other really fast games is something I cannot play. So I would prefer 30 minutes and up. What should I be looking for in the tournament list?

 

tnx for helping.

The longest time control for Live tourneys is 15|10.

OK tnx

 

i will practice that. Never played that before. Seems fast too me.

The other tournaments you can play over a long time as in weeks and months? Some say 3 days or 1 day. That means you have a day to make a move? Or the whole game must be played in a day?  it's so weird that there is nothing about that in the help section.

Or else join the dhlc or slow chess LIVE association where they negotiate games at even slower time controls.

There is information but it is currently under Online or Turn-based.

The tourney won't start without that many players.

FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm suggesting to not take a part in these silly vacational tournaments, they all are a nightmare because takes ages to finish. Also, you must be aware to not lose the time. It's a cheeky way to play a chess.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T WASTE YOU TIME AND ENERGY

I'm in a 7-day tournament. How do the group stages, etc. work? How many players go through to the next round?

The home page of the tourney has all of the datails. Do you have a link or can you provide the tourney name?
