When will the 2007 Tournament start?

I was wondering the same thing.. It was suppose to start like saturday or yesterday. I have this fear that my name will be missed in sign ups:-) I noticed I have my name in there twice but it still could be missed.

Anyone know if it will start soon?

Oh good! That means I am not alone!

I read something about the 2006 tournament not finished yet, right? This is the first time I participate in the tournament. Hopefully we won't miss the games!
Anyways, good luck to you guys.

i'm wondering the same thing. It was supposed to have started by now right? Do we get an email notice when it does begin?

... I remember having received email-messages for each game with me to move (=n-1 messages with n=number of players in my group) as soon as the tournament had been started. In simpler words: one message per white game.
So don´t worry that you might miss anything if you have your email-notification marker set to "on".

Hope that helps.

At the very least you'll get an email saying that the match has started, with a list of games in the match and pairings - again assuming email notification is On.

How will we know which games are tournament games?

Once the games begin, you will see several new games appear in your game list. In the past, they have had time controls of 60d + 0d. The announcement will be made on the home page, as well. Once the games begin, you can go to the tournament page and do a search for your handle (ctrl-F on Win-doze systems). Follow that match ID to see which games in your list are tournament games.

Oops. I've got one heck of a cold, so I haven't been doing much of anything latley. I'll try to get the tournament started today.

Whats the rules for additional time??

I seem to recall from the past that if a certain number of moves was reached a fixed amount of time was added to both players time.

I ask as i'll be beyond move 60 by the end of the week but will be down to about ten days left and i'll be away for about a week then too.

Once you get to 50 moves you can request more time. I normally add 14 days to each side.

not needed now but its nice to know for future reference

How many players qualify for the next round?
How will the pairings be made from the second round onwards?

kind regards

Je ne desire pas jouer le tournoi 2007 et m'en excuse.

Just the winners from each match go on to the next round.

Hi,

Can anybody tell me what's the fun of the last game-in-play in 1st round of the 2007 tournament? If this isn't a draw, I'm a goldfish.
I'm not in the 2nd round , but my son (jasperp) is I would ask when 2rd round starts, because in August we are three weeks on holiday.

Regards,
Jan Post

Je vous ai écrit en mai 2007 pour vous dire que je jouerai pas le tournoi 2007
Je ne vois par pourquoi je perds mon classement qui était de 2897 sans avoir voulu joué. Perdre des points de cette façon n'est pas la meilleure façon de pénaliser le joueur. Dites-moi si dans le réglement 2006 il était prévu de réinscrire automatiquement les joueurs de la finale 2006 dans le tournoi 2007?
Merci de votre réponse.

Play some games against me. Your rating will go up again!

Since I don't speak French, I missed your request not to be included. I'll add your rating points back.

Thank you very much
