A player who moves his king adjacent to the opponentвЂ™s king and then attempts to claim a win under this rule based on the opponentвЂ™s failure to notice the check shall lose the game.Д§e.) An illegal move doesnвЂ™t negate a playerвЂ™s right to claim on time, provided it is made prior to the opponentвЂ™s claim of an illegal move. Mating material consists of (at a minimum) two minor pieces, a pawn, a rook or a queen provided it isnвЂ™t a position where one could claim it to be a draw under sectionД§d.) Who, after an illegal move is completed by the opponent, takes the king (if the king is in check) or claims the win and stops the clock, before the player determines a move and provided the player has sufficient mating material as defined in rule 7c. 6e.) A player should not keep a hand on or hover over the clock.Д§.) Defining a win: A game is won by the player:Д§a.) Who has legally mated his opponentвЂ™s king.Д§c.) Whose opponentвЂ™s flag falls first, at any time before the game is otherwise ended by stopping the clock prior to the playerвЂ™s own clockвЂ™s flag fall, and who has mating material. TD TIP: This rule, the use of one hand in all blitz moves, also applies to castling and captures.ДҐ.) The tournament director may state at the start of the event the direction the clocks are to face, and the player with the Black pieces then chooses the side of the table on which to sit.Д¦.) Except for pressing the clock, neither player should touch the clock except:Д¦b.) If a player knocks over the clock a penalty may be assessed.Д¦c.) If your opponentвЂ™s clock does not tick you may press his side down and re-press your side however, if this procedure is unsatisfactory, please call for a director.Д¦d.) Each player must always be allowed to press the clock after their move is made. If no digital timer is available, then an analog timer may be considered standard.Дўc.) The player with the black pieces chooses the standard timer.ДЈ.) Before play begins, both players should inspect the position of the pieces and the setting of the clock, since once each side has completed a move the position on the board and the time on the clock remain as set.ДЈa.) If the king and queen are set up incorrectly, it is legal to castle short on the queenside and long on the kingside.ДЈb.) If an illegal position is created or an illegal move made without the opponent making a claim, the position stands and a claim not allowed when the opponent has determined a next move.Д¤.) Each player must press the clock with the same hand that moves the pieces, using one hand to both move the pieces and to press the clock. Standard timer for Blitz chess: 2a.) Whatever timer is used (analog or digital), a standard timer must continue to run for both sides even if one sideвЂ™s time has expired (See 8c).Дўb.) A digital timer (given it meets the requirements of 2a) is preferred over an analog timer due to the precision of setting and the accuracy of timing. Total game time should not exceed 10 minutes per player per game.Дў.) All the clocks must have a special device, usually called a вЂњflag,вЂќ either a regular flag or some device on a digital clock that indicates a flag fall. TD TIP: Nonstandard time controls should be set keeping in mind the spirit and intent of Blitz Chess (rapid play, quick, fun chess). Rules: We will follow USCF Blitz rules for this event.ДЎ.) Each player must make all his moves in the time specified for the game.ДЎa.) Standard time control (TC) for blitz is G/5 with no delay.ДЎb.) Time controls, including the use of delay or increment, are to be stated in any advance publicity and must also be announced or posted at the site. Inclement Weather: If severe weather goes to the event page for this tournament on the day of the tournament to see if it is delayed, postponed or canceled. Supervision: At least one designated adult supervisor must be present always during the tournament to oversee your schoolвЂ™s team, or individual participants who are in K through 8th grade.
