Qhimm.com Chess Tournament Rules
  • Arrange a time with your opponent to play (find your opponent on the bracket).
  • The offocial play site for the tournament is Yahoo! Games. (As of Windows XP SP1a and Windows 2000 SP4, Java no longer comes installed on Windows systems. If you have problems using Yahoo! Chess, you may need Java for your web browser - - see this.)
  • When the game is over, one of you should e-mail the game history to me (aaron_kelley@vanguard.org) or post it here. This is optional, but if it is not submitted, both participants should agree on who won, of course.
  • It will go on like this until there is a winner.
  • Finalists will get special ranks on the Qhimm.com forums for two weeks!
  • Don't accuse anyone of cheating unless you have some real evidence to prove that they did. I want to keep these games fun, and they won't be as fun if we have to worry about things like this.
  • If one person gets disconnected, the other person should hold the chess table until the first person can get back online. If both of you get disconnected, you can join a new board and pick the same side as you were before and the game should resume where it left off (at least it did for Nori and I). If this does not work, then you will have to start a new game unless one of you managed to save the log up to the point of the disconnect.
  • Don't invite other people to watch your games. We don't want any conversation about the game going on outside of the Yahoo game window either. If other people want to see the game, you can give them a copy of the history after the game is over.
  • If you and your opponent decide on a time to play in advance, and you don't show up, that's ok. But if you miss an appointed time three times (over the course of three or more days), your opponent has the opportunity to choose to advance to the next round. If you dedicate yourself to a certain time, please try to show up.
  • If you and your opponent don't manage to play in the time of a week and a half, then one of two things will happen. If one person consistently did not show up for games, or was hard to catch online, then the other person will advance to the next round. If both people were hardly ever online and never caught each other for a game, then both people will be disqualified and the waiting player in the next round will advance. A week and a half (10 days) should be enough time to play a game of Chess.
