Due to the reduced time lag (8.00 p.m. Bangkok
time), we hope to attract chess friends especially from the Asian region. The
Bangkok Trophy is open to everybody, its not necessary to hold a particular
ranking. The prize fund is 850 ducats, the first two placegetters qualify for
the Champions Challenge next Saturday. The event will start at 15.00 in the room
Tournament Official B, the tournament director will be Martin
Baumgartner.
Here
are all the details.
If you haven't played any tournaments on our
chess server yet, this is how it goes:
- Registration is possible immediately before
the tournament (here from 15.00 until 15.20 CET (8.00 to 8.20 pm Bangkok
time). A short message to the tournament director ("join" or
similar) is enough. If you have been registered, you will receive the
message "You are in".
- During the registration phase the tournament
director will occasionally generate messages, either "You are
registered" (if you are on the list of participants) or "You are
kibitzing" (if not). In the latter case, please notify the tournament
director immediately (message "join") .
- The tournament director will start the games
automatically. Please make sure to be in the playing room when the pairings
are drawn, as otherwise you will not be considered by the program and miss
one round.
Good luck!
Martin Fischer
