Hello everyone!
Thank you to all for coming out this past Tuesday and enjoying some chess!! A special thank you to the new members that attended for the first time! It appeared you enjoyed the games, and I hope to see you again next week, and in the weeks to follow!
We will be meeting again this upcoming Tuesday. Also, concurrently there will be a CICL match between our (and our partner players from Molex) competitive team versus a team called the 'Pawns'. Yes, regular ANCC club game play can & will happen!! It just so happens, that there will be other games going on at the same time that are vying for a 'win' in our match versus the Pawns.
This is a fantastic opportunity for non-competing ANCC club players to observe a CICL game(s) AND play your own ANCC club games as well. Naturally, due to the competitive nature of the match and of the CICL league, a quiet environment from all of those in attendance will be required and maintained.
For those not familiar with CICL game time controls and rules, here is a short run down:
Time controls: Stage 1; 45 moves in 90 minutes (each player)
Stage 2; (repeating if necessary), 30 moves in 60 minutes (each player)
USCF rules governing other regulations.
Thus, a game can go on indefinitely, if you are able to make the required number of moves in your time control. There are 6 'scored' (that count toward the score for the win/loss) boards, and any number of boards for extra play; these games are CICL rated, just not counted toward the teams points for a win or loss. Games typically last a couple of hours, and a couple of games up to 3 hours. Not as often, but possible, some games extend into the second time control putting the game past 3 hours.
The CICL match is slated to start between 7:30-7:45 pm.
I hope to see a good crow of ANCC players playing regular club games, AND those wishing to observe our team in action against the Pawns!!
Darin for the ANCC
