Re: Tafl in the Basque Country
Jan. 25th 2024 Summarizing; These would be the steps to follow: 1-First I have to read the rules well; I think there is in Spanish. From what I see there are many modalities (11x11, 7x7, 3x15) but are the rules the same for everyone? 2-I want to buy 5 boards to be able to do the Basque tournament in...

Re: World Tafl Federation
There has not been an Honorary Hnefatafl Master since Peter Kelly 2014 ten years ago. Presuming you can have such a title also when alive, I would now propose for Honorary Hnefatafl Masters : Tim Millar ("Crust"), Somerset, UK. Adam Bartley ("Adam"), Tønsberg, Norway. - the three of us worked togeth...

Tonythebook wrote: I've just played Freach in Berserk, 175 moves, a game worth highlighting. I started as Tafl and he looked dead, then he used Berserk tactics and wiped my defence, then it became a true battle... Maybe you can share it somehow as a demo? The game is: Fraech / Tonythebook. Tournamen...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
I believe it must be accepted that "correspondence" format games last a long time. Thank you for the thoughts! It's a dilemma. All players, with a few exceptions, want quick games, and in reality it's not possible because of time zones etc. The x1 timing (2 hours per move, buffer 2.5 day) was found...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
Quick timing is a big problem. Compare fx. Los Angeles and Sofia. In Los Angeles leisure time after work 17 o'clock until 22 o'clock when time to turn in corresponds to Sofia 3 o'clock at night until 8 o'clock morning. In theory the two players will never meet live and can only exchange one move ea...

Re: Hnefatafl Internet Championship
WTF tournament duration and number of opponents. The WTF tourn. 2023 lasted 81 days, and each strong player met at most 8 opponents totally, and only 2 at a time. This is the shortest tourn. duration since 2013. And the three years of Diagonal Tournament Format have the smallest number of opponents...
