LCC will be starting a ladder challenge event that will run to the end of the year. It's open to all regular LCC players and those who would like to be part of our LCC community.
I have a software program set up to do a ladder challenge. The way this works is that I will seed those interested in playing based on strength by either US Chess rating or my approximation of what your rating strength is likely to be. After the initial start, new participants will start at the bottom of the ladder. Anyone in the club may challenge a player above them (but, no more than three rungs higher) to a short match. If you beat a player higher on the ladder, you replace that person on the higher rung of the ladder and the defeated player takes your place on the ladder.
Your input is needed. The question is one of time. I suggest G-45 or G-60. Both would have a 10 second delay for writing down moves. This gives enough time to think, but doesn't result in really long games. So let me know your preference.
Because White has the advantage of the first move, a match will consist of two games with each player playing a game as White. In the event of a tie after two games, there would be one Armageddon final game. Players would draw for White. The White player, having the advantage of the first move, will play the game at G-30 whilst the Black player will play at G-40.
Games can be played at The Grindstone or anywhere else with the exception of the Armageddon which would be played at the Grindstone so all could enjoy the final.
There you have it. Let me know your preference.....G-45 or G-60.
