WCCF Winter Bash

Russell Sherwood  Monday, December 4, 2023

As we come to the end of the year, we will be holding another Special event: The WCCF Winter Bash.

This event:

  1. Is Open to all Welsh-flagged and resident members
  2. Will be played, using Triple block 365 days, with guaranteed time.
  3. Be Open to All ratings
  4. Be played on a mixed rating basis, using either a standard single round-robin or Silli format , contingent on the number of entries.
  5. Whilst rated in the normal way, uniquely this event will have its final standings: 1)  based on standard, Baumbach and SB scores 2) Using Predicted moves as the first tie-break.

 

What is the predicted move's tie-break? From moves 10-50, the count of the opponent's moves predicted correctly will be used to determine the Tie-breaks. More details will be published closer to the event.  This tie-break does not affect the outcome of the rating outcome of the game.

This is a fun event, designed to be played at speed and allows players to contribute to a possible future direction of Correspondence chess.

Entries should be sent to Russell Sherwood [email protected]
