Hey all Atomic-Fans,
with this post we (onubense and Iubar) want to announce that there will be a Atomic960-Event in May! The games will be played on chessvariants.training and consist of 8 games with every position played twice. So there will be 4 different Postions which are played by each player with white and black. The style of the tournament will be similar to the Atomic-WC. Also there will be streams from onubense (and maybe some other streamers) during the event!
Below you will find the modifed rules for the event:
Entrants:
• 250 Atomic games played on lichess
• Your rating must be established (if there is a ? behind your rating it is not) at the time of registration
• You should have an account on chessvariants.training and write your name there with the registration
• You can only register with one account, if you register with multiple accounts you will be removed from the Tournament.
• You can not enter with an account marked for using computer assistance or rating manipulation.
• You can register by writing in this thread until 10 May 2020.
Tournament:
The Tournament will be a simple Knockout-Tournament:
• Each match will have 8 games with the time control 3+2 with each position played twice (the website we play on will do this automaticly)
• The results of the matches need to be sent to the TD after the match
• If one player reaches 4.5 points, the player can stop the match, but they can continue if they like
• If there is a tie after 8 games (with changing the player playing white first for a position after game 4) there will be a tiebreak consisting of 2 games 3+2. If the match is still tied after those there will be another two games of 3+2. If the match is still tied there will be 1+0 games (in paris of 2) until there is a winner (problem is that only playing one game can be very unfair when position is very good for white)
• A player can request a maximum of two breaks lasting 10minutes during the match.
• Every player has the right to get 1 minute before starting the game, so they can see the position and think about strategies (so only start the game if both players agree in chat or after 1 minute)
• The tournament draw will be like in the AtomicWC, so the 1st seed will play the last and so on.
• The match times will be negotiated by the players. Each player has to offer at least 3 different times where they can play by Wednesday.
• If you finished your round and your next opponent did aswell feel free to play your game faster than the time-table.
We hope you all will enjoy this format and we will see some nice Atomic960-games!
