Queens Chess Club Championship Welcome to the 2012 Queens Chess Club Championship!! The time control is game in 2 hours with an analog clock, or game in 1 hour 55 minutes/115 minutes with a five second time delay, if you have a delay clock, which is preferred. Please bring sets and clocks. Our normal seating arrangement is to face all clocks toward the center aisle. The TD needs to be able to see the clock. Past QCC champions 2011: Andrew Ryba 2010: IM Jay Bonin, IM Danny Kopec 2009: IM Danny Kopec, Andrew Ryba, Nicholas Ryba 2007: IM (now GM) Alex Lenderman 2006: IM Jay Bonin & Ricardo Perez-Billinghurst 2005: IM Jay Bonin 2004: IM Jay Bonin 2003: IM Jay Bonin 2002: Devlin Sinclair 2001: IM Jay Bonin 2000: GM Alex Stripunsky & IM Jay Bonin 1999: Pieter Bierkens, Brian Lawson, Edgar Cimafranca Sr. 1998: Edward Kopiecki 1997: IM Jay Bonin & Edward Kopiecki 1996: Edward Frumkin 1995: Brian Lawson 1994: Joseph Felber & Edgar Ian Cimafranca (aka Jr.) 1993: Anatoly Tonkonogy 1992: Anatoly Tonkonogy 1991: Anatoly Tonkonogy, Bernard Hill & Steven Goldstein We no longer enforce Rule 14H, which allows a player in time pressure in a game without time delay to request a delay clock, claiming no losing chances. We no longer allow this because our directors are also participating as players. If a game starts at 8:15 with an analog clock, that clock will not be replaced or exchanged unless it dies during the game (and even so, will be replaced with the same type of clock if possible). We recommend that you be on time. Up to three half point byes are permitted, but these must be locked in before round 4 (Oct 26). Please mark your result on the pairing sheet as soon as your game is over. If you want to analyze your game, you must go to another table that doesn t have any tournament games on it, but there is still no talking permitted until all tournament games are over ( we will close within 15 minutes of the last game finishing). We are hoping to find another site with a second room in the near future. We will be using carbon scoresheets and will prepare weekly bulletins to be posted online. Please turn in your scoresheets to Brian Lawson. We will attempt to have the next round s pairings posted by Tuesday. Have fun and play well!!
