| Jul-14-14 | | whiteshark: "The ACP Golden Classic tournament reveals the long forgotten adjournment back into practice. The first edition of the ACP Golden Classics is won by Vassily Ivanchuk in Amsterdam 2012. --> ACP Golden Classic (2012) The tournament is a seven player Round Robin. <The rate of play is 150 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 60 minutes for the next 16 moves, followed by 15 minutes to finish the game with an increment of 30 seconds per move in the last period.< If a game is not finished at the end of the first playing session (5 hours), the arbiter will ask the player whose turn it is to move to adjourn the game and ‘seal’ his move. This does not apply to the last round.>> The default time is 60 minutes.
Tie Breaks
1. Result between tied players (two players only)
2. Koya System
3. Sonneborn-Berger System"

| Jul-14-14 | | Kinghunt: Are they allowed to use computers while the games are adjourned, or are they on the honor system not to? |

 | | WannaBe: I got the W. So over 4.5 with bookie. C'mon Wes!! =) |

 | | ketchuplover: Is there a time limit for sealing the move? tyia |

| Jul-14-14 | | Wavy: <WannaBe: I got the W. So over 4.5 with bookie. C'mon Wes!! =)> What is the odds for your bet? How much will you win for your bet? |
|
Jul-14-14
| | WannaBe: <Wavy> Projected payout is 154, so I net/win 104. The final closing odd was approx. 2-1. |
|
| Jul-14-14 | | Wavy: <WannaBe> So basically you bet $50 and the payout is $154. Sounds like a good bet with a high probability of winning. :-) |
|
| Jul-14-14 | | Wavy: I just realized that your bet is for Wesley to get 5pts (over 4.5) or higher out of 6 games. So Wesley is allowed to have just one more draw and of course no loses for you to win. Looks daunting to me. |
|
Jul-14-14
| | WannaBe: <Wavy> No, actually the bet is exactly 4.5 no more, no less. 4.5 on the nose. |
|
| Jul-15-14 | | Wavy: You have to cheer for Wesley to have 2 more draws then. lol |
|
| Jul-15-14 | | whiteshark: <Wavy: You have to cheer for Wesley to have 2 more draws then. lol> Exactly! ACP Golden Classic: SO SPECIAL ;D |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | waustad: I sort of like the odd number of players idea so that one avoids the extra white issue, though it makes it a little less obvious who's really leading. Seeing who is +1 or such makes more sense than total points. The last tournament I remember that used adjournments was one where Anna Muzychuk had an excellent result, but the tournament wasn't rated. It was in the Netherlands if I recall. |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | geeker: I'm pretty sure there was a significant tournament with adjournments about a year ago. But I haven't been able to recall specifics. :( |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | Mr. V: Hi all!
I believe you're remembering this tournament: ACP Golden Classic (2012) |
|
| Jul-17-14 | | Mr. V: I really like the way the ACP looks like they're organizing their special tournaments. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | waustad: As usual, win or loss some of the most interesting games are Sutovsky's. |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | waustad: <Mr_V>Yes that was it. I final round loss to Ivanchuk kept Muzychuk from having a plus score in a tournament where she was the only player who'd never been over 2700. |
|
Jul-18-14
| | WannaBe: Woo, if W. So draws the last game, I hit the 4.5 pts wager with bookie!! =) |
|
| Jul-18-14 | | wordfunph: interesting if Wesley will settle for a draw to clinch the title or go for Brunello's throat. |
