So you've proven yourself in strength on the battlefield. Now it's time to find the great battle thinkers and strategists amongst us.
It is reported that Caesar from 9thLegion shall bring a new game to Regalia, called Chess. To mark the occassion, a competition, The Inaugural Regalian Chess Competition, will be held this weekend.
Location:
The Chess Board, Regalia, Coordinates x = -95, z = 805.
Prizes:
[Winner] 5 stacks of diamonds, 2 stacks of gold ingots and 1 stack of iron ingots
[Runner-up] 3 stacks of diamonds and 1 stack of gold ingots
Competition Rules:
- standard game play rules apply (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_chess)
- players should try to take no longer than 2 minutes to make a move (in order to keep the games fairly short and interesting)
- the touch-move rule applies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_chess#Touch-move_rule), i.e. if you break a piece to move it, then you should complete your move with that piece, unless your opponent is willing to let you "take the move back"
- in the event of a tied match (e.g. stalemate), players should opt for a rematch provided that it doesn't interfere with any other scheduled matches
Reserve Entrants:
- in the event of an entrant not turning up for their match, an available player from the reserve list may take that entrant's place in the competition, for the rest of the duration of the competition; in this case, the absent player is thus unfortunately out of the competition and the reserve player may continue to play in subsequent matches and compete for the prizes
- if a player finds him/herself without an opponent, and no reserve entrants are available, then he/she wins that match by default
Match Timetable and Results:
Register your intent to join the competition in this thread. The competition is "knock-out style" (i.e. loser of a match is out of the competition).
UPDATE: There is now a full quota of 16 entrants. We will commence putting together a draw based on time availability of entrants. You can still register for the reserve player list though (in case an entrant can't make it to their match on the day)!
