Problems
Except of few cases games run smoothly.
Still the same problems with proper time management. How to avoid them see reminders below or my previous messages.
Withdrawal – silent:
- Demirci, Ulas (TUR) from sections 16
- Law, Louis (USA) from section 22
Potential silent withdrawal:
- Gulen, Maksut (TUR) from sections 04
- Dönmezer, Onurcan (TUR) from sections 09
We are saddened to hear information sent on 2012-05-23 by Romanian delegate, Miron Sferle, that our friend Chiricuta, Ing. Marius (ROU) from section 12 passed away. His 2 open games will be adjudicated.
Reminders
Help
Sometimes is good to read “Online help” or “Tutorial“, accessible in the main window of ICCF webserwer after clicking “Online help” (ICCF Webchess Help). Tutorial with a number of screen shots illustrates how to use the server. There are additional tutorials in other languages (Dutch, Czech, Spanish, German, French). They are out of date a bit, but still you can find useful reference there.
Games to be completed
The system allows many different ways for games to be completed. Players are encouraged to be familiar with these methods, as it may be their responsibility to take action.
The system can automatically detect certain conditions, including checkmate and stalemate. However, some situations require from a player to claim a result via the TD (through the option provided at the server from game window “Claim win” or “Claim draw” under “Game” pull down menu), for example:
- win (if, say, the opponent has exceeded the time limit or taken more than 40 days for his last move)
- draw (if, say, a threefold repetition or the 50-move rule has occurred)
The system automatically stops a game if a player exceeds the reflection time, but will not enter a result. The game needs to be claimed by the opponent, before the TD can manually enter the result. The system will not automatically stop a game if a player takes more than 40 days to respond, players need to alert of this infraction and claim the game to the TD.
Please remember that claim a draw has to be submitted when you are on move!
If in doubt, please communicate with the TD in good time.
Time-troubles
There are few solutions to avoid time-trouble or game forfeited on time.
- Better time management.
- Take leave. Each player has 30 day leave per calendar year. So please take it (you can see it in green in your leave calendar window) or use option for special leave – “Request special leave” under Event menu in your game window giving reasonable justification (if confirmed you can see it in red in your leave calendar window).
- Submit “Use 40+ reflection” under “Game” pull down menu in your game window, if you have spare time and want to use reflection time more than 40 days.
- It is better to inform TD about your problem, when you cannot continue your games instead of being silent. You may avoid suspension from ICCF events for longer period than 6 months, if accepted withdrawal (in case of not accepted withdrawal usually 1-year suspension, in case of silent withdrawal at least 2 years).
