Article 10: Quickplay Finish |
|
|
10.1
|
A 'quickplay finish' is the last phase of a game, when all the remaining moves must be made in a limited time. |
|
10.2
|
If the player, having the move, has less than two minutes left on his clock, he may claim a draw before his flag falls. He shall stop the clocks and summon the arbiter. a. If the arbiter agrees the opponent is making no effort to win the game by normal means, or that it is not possible to win by normal means, then he shall declare the game drawn. Otherwise he shall postpone his decision or reject the claim. b. If the arbiter postpones his decision, the opponent may be awarded two extra minutes thinking time and the game shall continue in the presence of an arbiter, if possible. The arbiter shall declare the final result after a flag has fallen. c. If the arbiter has rejected the claim, the opponent shall be awarded two extra minutes thinking time. d. The decision of the arbiter shall be final relating to 10.2 a, b, c. |
|
10.3
|
If both flags have fallen and it is impossible to establish which flag fell first the game is drawn. |
|
D. |
Quickplay finishes where no arbiter is present in the venue. |
|
D1.
|
Where games are played as in Article 10, a player may claim a draw when
he has less than two minutes left on his clock and before his flag falls.
This concludes the game. a. that his opponent cannot win by normal means, or b. that his opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means. In (a) the player must write down the final position and his opponent
verify it. |

We look forward to welcoming you to the Cherry Orchard Hotel during 2001 |
| The Isle of Man is unique in that there is no "chess league" as there are only two chess clubs on the Island. At the Southern Chess Club, no fewer than 27 club nights have featured competitive chess, all this admirably organised by Frank Maher, our Competition Secretary. The varied nature of the competitions combined with Frank's strictness and organizational abilities have ensured that even though the same club members play week in / week out, the season 2000 / 2001 has been a big success for the players. Well done Frank and thank you. chessmaster |
