  • Eduardo IV Teodoro vs Robert Morrison - Mississauga October Standard 2014

    Witnessed the return of a few ghosts from Toronto's rich chess history on the weekend! The legendary "Fast" Eddie IV Teodoro, having been "retired for 15 years", against a player whom Bill Evans told me was a notable player himself from even further in the past, maybe 30 years ago.

    SD/60 blitz off, left on the clock 0:46 seconds vs 4:50+, winner to take clear 2nd and the $150 booty.

    Hi Hugh,

    I did not see the game live but through the video that you made, it seems to be a very interesting game - end game to watch between 2 FMs. Having said that, it is a problem with sudden death and we may initiate a 2 or 5 secs delay for our next tournament. As for the other concern which is round one started later than posted, onsite entry may only be allowed to play in round 2 to ensure round one start on time. Thanks for the feedback by Hugh and Egis. We will definitely take into considerations the concerns highlighted by the players.

      There were a number of times when White touched his piece before Black pressed his clock. Do the rules say anything about this?

        Yep.
        "A player must be allowed to stop his clock after making his move, even after the opponent has made his next move. "

          That rule still doesn't state that a player must not touch/move a piece before the opponent has pressed his clock. It seems to allow for touching/moving even before the opponent has fully "completed" his move.

            imho only touch-move is allowed, as just touching could be adjusting but that is not allowed:
            "Only the player whose clock is running is allowed to adjust the pieces."

            If to be very picky, Black captured an a3-pawn using two hands. That is no no per rules :)
            "4.1 Each move must be made with one hand only."

            imho²: when monies/prizes are involved, increment/delay must be used too.

              The players should know the new FIDE rule for quickplay finishes. If a player's time is under 2 minutes he can stop the clock and ask for increment to be added. This is considered a draw offer but 1/2 point is better than flagging.

              I've already posted this.

              http://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.ht...1&view=article

              Appendix G. Quickplay Finishes
              G.1 A ‘quickplay finish’ is the phase of a game when all the remaining moves must be completed in a finite time.
              G.2 Before the start of an event it shall be announced whether this Appendix shall apply or not.
              G.3. This Appendix shall only apply to standard play and rapidplay games without increment and not to blitz games.
              G.4 If the player having the move has less than two minutes left on his clock, he may request that a time delay or cumulative time of an extra five seconds be introduced for both players, if possible. This constitutes the offer of a draw. If refused, and the arbiter agrees to the request, the clocks shall then be set with the extra time; the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes and the game shall continue.
