Interclub 2020 using chess.com
Interclub 2020 will be something a little different to what players are used to. This year, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we will be playing via CHESS.COM – an online chess platform for playing chess.
These matches will not be rated – the ACF will certainly not approve them because they are online with no guarantee against cheating.
The way these matches will work is similar to the normal Interclub Matches – teams of 4, in playing order, playing each other using the time rate of 60 minutes Plus a 30 second increment.
We have set up a special Club on Chess.com to post the draws and the results each week and while the first round was a bit chaotic, it should all go very smoothly now.
We only have 5 teams in A Grade so would greatly appreciate one or three more clubs – perhaps Matisons, Adelaide Uni and Modbury might like to join in the fun – and they can have catch-up games.
We have 9 teams in B Grade but of course would love another team to make it even better!
SACA has set up a special club for the Matches and you can switch between two Forums to find out who you are playing etc by simply clicking the label.
You have to be admitted to the club first time and from then on it is easy!
Here are the draws for this week – Tuesday 2nd June 2020.
SACA 2020 A Grade – Round 4
Apologies for the delay in putting up the draws for this competition – unfortunately I was expecting more than 5 teams in A Grade and not expecting an extra team in B Grade. Therefore initially I decided to keep the options open with A Grade, anticipating that teams from Adelaide University, Modbury and Matisons would all turn up in the first few weeks – but sadly no! Therefore the poor Swiss Perfect program used to do these draws has ground to a halt for A Grade and I have created a second RR tournament giving those two teams who have not yet received the BYE, the BYE in the first two rounds. With only 5 teams in the competition it is going to be inevitable that some teams will play each other twice – so enjoy the challenge!
