Race games
NB. Notice that you can change the sequence of dice.
Timing & Night Pause.
Games use the Fischer Clock system:
Initial time: 5.5 days per player.
Increment per move: 8 hours, gradually reduced in very long games.
Night Pause.
Active between 23:00 and 07:00 local time.
Each move received during the day grants up to 8 hours pause that night.
If the opponent moves at night, the pause splits between nights.
Pause applies per move and does not accumulate.
Christmas/New Year Pause.
Timing is paused from 23 December 2025 to 2 January 2026.
Players are free to continue their games as they wish, but no timing will be applied during this period.
Time Buffer Display.
Blue warning when buffer falls below 1.5 days.
Red warning when buffer falls below 24 hours.
Clocks are managed automatically by the tournament software, and exceeding your time limit will automatically result in a loss.
How to see your rest time buffer.
On your "My current games" page:
at the bottom of the page, click "Enter" to "Show my games and time buffers".
Here the time buffer left is shown, and the current status of three additional parameters.
E.g.
Player: 5.5 days left of time buffer.
(8 hours added per move, 2.1 days used total)
means that 8 hours are added to the time buffer when you move; you have used in total 2.1 days for this game.
Umpire backups: Adam Bartley, Norway; Steve Lonsdale, Peterborough, UK; Mike Coveny, Canada.
Organizer: Aage Nielsen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Further information will be provided here and in the chat forum chat forum during the tournament.
