Re: Commonwealth Championships - Jonathan Livingstone - 03-07-2014
In what instance does 5-fold repitition apply (rather than 3-fold)?
And what is the 75 move rule?
Just interested!
Re: Commonwealth Championships - Andy Howie - 03-07-2014
New rule that came in for tournaments that started from 1 July. If there is either a 5 fold repetition or 75 moves without a capture or pawn move, the Arbiter can call the draw.

After today's debacle, I have been told by my wife to withdraw as I need to babysit at the weekend while she practices as a volunteer for the real commonwealth games. I can play round 5 but will stop after that. She actually phoned me before the game too about the same thing.

Thank you so much as an elected CS representative for letting ChessScotland members know your intentions based around the "real" Commonwealth games.

Wasn't any of this known or predictable before the tournament started Andy?
Also, did you receive a free entry to the tournament as an IM?
Re: Commonwealth Championships - amuir - 03-07-2014
I got free entry. Women are not predictable. Both wife and mum don't want me to play. They seemed happy at start but now complaining. My wife said the real commonwealth games are more important than the chess and as I am staying at my mums she complained my game finished late and my tea got cold.
