When possible some day soon, Hist. and Sea round 4 will start at about 18 o'clock Danish time.

10-26/19:47 xerxes: I've been talking to Aage re a 'blitz' Daldos competition - say 8 or 10 players playing each other in two games simultaneously with a maximum time of 60 or 90 minutes for all the games, so 18 games on the go for each player.  Unfinished games would be won by the player who has used the least time in that game.  It will take a bit of setting-up, and we may have to test it with an unofficial tournament once the World Championships are over.  Could be fun ?

10-26/10:10 Hagbard: Just a small comment on the balance thing.

As the case is with the Dimetr2 game, the slight positive balance can be a basis for better games.
Because white is rewarded for being inventive. The slight positive balance helps white to succeed with the good ideas.
Whereas if white is not inventive enough, then white is doomed even with the positive balance.

And such a constructive positive balance we have in
Copenhagen: +1.33
Dimetr2: +1.29
Sea 13 Nielsen: +1.31
and some others.

10-26/09:24 Draganov: Then, we can have a blitz champion like in chess where we have world blitz championship.
I am also thinking of a Copenhagen with whites starting first. I think it is worth to test such a variant too.

10-26/09:23 Draganov: @Cacreal, thanks for playing Copenagen blitz with me. It was fun and both games were nice examples of good play with the blacks. I think the only way to have blitz games at the moment is when both players agree for a starting time and play fast. Maybe a good idea is to have the possibility to start a game with just 1 hour time for thinking or even less (20 minutes no time added, 1 minute protected time minimum) just for blitz games. A tournament of this kind could be organized with a pre-arranged time that is good for everyone with an additional rule. The game starts only when both players made 1 move. If the game timeout without the second player start playing, then this game must be restarted on the next day at the same time.

10-26/04:36 cacreal: @Draganov - thanks for the blitz games of copenhagen it was fun and it would be nice to have that variation available similar to chess.com site for a speed game

10-25/11:51 Draganov: Thank you Steve (Xerxes). I am glad to become a Race Master for the second time (first time in 2022). I think this year the Race championship was great. There were no controversies and problems, the games were played fast and everyone played against everyone. Personally for me, the Race tournament was more enjoying and interesting than the Tafl tournaments and I put more motivation and focus on it compared to my tafl games. I think with the Race games, we found a great field to explore new games, strategies and learn more about the history of the board games. I am working on an article presenting a simple race game, called 'Five lines' or in Greek 'pente grammai' which is supposed to be a predcessor of Daldos and probably Tafl. You can find some paintings of it from Ancient Greece where Ajax and Achilles played it against each other. I think it will be great if Hagbard can implement it and some other more complex variants of Sahkku too.

10-25/09:59 xerxes: Congratulations to Draganov.  Well played.
