Hi all -
Note - 10/28 - NO CHESS - Eagles Club will be refinishing the floor, so R3 is 11/4, and R4 is 11/11.
Couple of notes:
- Love to see the new players and the huge U1200 section. Hope you all have fun and continue to play regularly. If you have any questions about anything :) come see a TD.
- Couple of recent events to talk through: There's NEVER any reason for anyone else in the room to EVER talk to a player in an active game. Whatever it might be about, it isn't allowed. If the room is ON FIRE, get a TD, don't interrupt the players yourself :)
- There was also a discussion about rules as well - both players agreed about what happened, but didn't know what the actual rule was. Say it with me: "Get a TD". No point arguing with your opponent, you'll both just get mad. Let a TD resolve it. In this case there was a touch-move violation, and they didn't know what the resolution was. We reminded them that it's:

No point arguing with your opponent, you'll both just get mad. Let a TD resolve it. In this case there was a touch-move violation, and they didn't know what the resolution was. We reminded them that it's:
a) replace the touched piece - reset the position to before the touch,
b) if the touched piece can be legally moved in the original position, it must be the piece moved,
or else (can't be legally moved),
c) there's no penalty (but repeatedly doing this would be distracting behavior, which would get a penalty)
Look over to the right - There's a bunch of posts describing rules that less-experienced players might want to get familiar with (and even some more experienced players, too...).
Brad Wells (U1200) - you were a no-show and withdrawn. If you'd like to rejoin, send a message with what happened on Wed
See below for last night's results, and prospective pairings for next week. I know of requested byes next round for Nooren, and Robin's withdrawn from the event.
If you need a bye (or will be late, or anything else), please leave a note below on this post or send an email (chess@demastri.com) or text (312-952-6495).
