Got into chess as a junior in college. Thank you for the video. I’m excited to attend my first over the board tournament when the covid-19 pandemic is over.
Best of luck!
Indeed, good luck Peaches.
Running a chess competition at school thanks
Absolutely, and if you have any specific questions don't hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help promote chess.
we’re fortunate that 5 world champions are alive at this moment in time!
Very true :)
Thanks for this video. I have used this same material for decades now in my books, columns, and player workshops. I am glad to see I am not alone. --Tim Just
Huge fan of your work and articles, I sincerely appreciate the support!
Won the first game in my tournament today in 12 moves extremely excited to play tomorrow
Great job!
very helpful, and I snagged your kindle book too, thanks!
Thanks for the support!
Been playing since like kindergarten and am about to go to my first (real) tournament Saturday. This is very helpful thanks
Happy to help! Please comment back after the tournament to let us know how you finished :)
I’m a teacher, I loved the intercom announcement toward the end. Great informative video.
Thanks!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you, Bryan. I'll use all this info for my first chess tournament in decades - it's coming up in a few weeks and is the Chicago Open. Plus, I'm studying heavily your Chessable courses on the French Defense & Queen's Gambit Declined as part of my prep. Thank you again for all the great help! (Oh, and I purchased your book mentioned in this video.)
Good luck in Chicago! I only ever hope that the content I create helps people, thanks for the comment.
Lol I’ve been practicing chess for about 5 months with passion, just to get 4 moved by a random 12 year old
Those kids are tough man...
It happens.
Don't let it happen again
Chess is hard lol
training to play in my guest otb in 3 months. thank you for this vid
Absolutely, happy to help.
cool tip to not be distracted by your opponent: wear a cap so you can just eliminate the distraction
We have seen people do it for over two decades in the southern states :)
Great information, thanks Bryan! About writing down your move after moving: I think this is a rule. I learned to do the opposite (to have the time for a last blunders check), but I think the rules changed to prevent cheating (small cameras).
It was changed based on the rule on written help. Technically you are reading something which may assist you (against the rules). It is an interesting concept as GM's like Kotov suggested to write it down before playing it to double check back in the day.
How do you prove that if you go to the bathroom you don't have a phone on you
Never keep any electronic devices on you during your games.
@@PalmBeachChess great point you never know what they have on their electronics
Thanks!
Nice vid! Thank you
What happens when your opponent has a scorebook that allows him to see his previous game notations? What are the rules around this?
Also, my opponents friend had walked over to watch our game. He was standing behind his friend for 6-7 moves and then walked around and stood behind me. I asked him to move several times but it was distracting. I guess I could have called the TD.
No written help can be used during tournament games. Typically we only see a ban on scorebooks at National Scholastic events. During a game if an opponent is flipping back and forth it can be reported to a TD as there is no good reason to do that during a rated game.
With the observer situation, yes, should have called the TD.
One my second game in the tournament 13 moves hopping to win again tomorrow
Won my grand final was a very quick match lasting all of 18 moves
okay i dont know what grand final lasts 18 moves
What is your rating?
Congratulations
@@nuggystan9128 the person That was playing me was only playing me because the person I was supposed to play pulled out and they weren’t as skilled
Can I start my move before my opponent stopped his clock?
No
Using only one hand: for moving pieces, the clock, and taking notation?
Yes
How many ways can you draw in chess?
@@bohuazhang9145 Types Of Draw
According to the FIDE rules, there are five different scenarios where a game can end in a draw. In most cases, one player has to propose or claim a tie, but in some specific situations, an arbiter may decide to end the game and claim a draw. www.chess.com/terms/draw-chess#:~:text=you%20by%20surprise.-,Types%20Of%20Draw,game%20and%20claim%20a%20draw.
Half way to the championship and still undefeated
What do you mean by(under USCF Time rule) "We suggest taking notation at least one move more than your opponent"? that doesn't seem to make sense, you can only notate moves when they happen.
No, if your opponent stops taking notation you need to continue at least one more move than they do (assuming one or both players is under 5min they no longer are required to keep notation). According to the rulebook, the TD is to lean towards the player with more evidence in their claim (more notation in this case). It is important to understand the rules on multiple levels.
@@PalmBeachChess Oh you are talking about notating one more move than the opponent when a time crunch occurs. I thought you were talking about normal situations, not time crunch. Of course, if both players are following that advice, they will both try to notate one more move than the other and never stop notating moves during the time crunch.
@@warblerab2955 This is true, it all depends on gamesmanship at that point. FIDE solved the problem by requiring notation at all times but they also have the standard of the 30-second increment per move.
@@PalmBeachChess of course, using DGT boards can help.
@@warblerab2955 Very expensive technology for the average TD. It is also not the most user friendly to set up from our experience.
This is very interesting stuff to know. I'm wanting to join a tournament but I don't really know where to even start as far as entry fees, signing up, and really just how to get started. I've never kept a scorecard, and just learned chess a few years ago playing online. It's weird when I play on a board have a little bit of trouble visualizing because I'm so used to online play as it is.
Happy to help, shoot me an email at nmbtillis@gmail.com and we can discuss more in detail how to find and compete in a tournament in your area. Here is a National listing: www.uschess.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,199/ you should be able to find a tournament relatively close to you this way and be able to contact the organizer as well.
Its hard to imagine that cheating is a real issue in chess What is the motivation behind the victory of a cheater? IMO, Cheaters are obviously shortsighted, and for that very reason, is why they are not able to cut it in the first place.
The same question can be answered with the rationale: why do pro athletes use illegal performance enhancing drugs?
It's too bad somebody didn't apply rule #7 in Round 12 of the 2022 U.S. Chess Championship. Unless picking up your opponent's king is a legal move now...
