 The following (Blitz Rules & Chess Center Tiebreakers) are reprinted here for the convenience of local TDs and chess players visiting or playing chess at the Chess Center. The Community Chess Club of Rochester (CCCR) does not run blitz tournaments. Tiebreakers are used by the Chess Center only for specific tournaments. Contact the Chess Center for more information.
 Rochester Chess Center's Blitz Rules, as of 12/2014 - subject to change if revised & posted differently at the Chess Center
Illegal Move Causes Loss - A player making an illegal move and hitting the clock shall forfeit the game, if called by the opponent before touching a piece.  The one exception to the touch move restriction is if a player leaves the king in check, the opponent may then touch the piece delivering the check and remove the player's king: "Snap King".
Snap King - If you put your opponent in check, please do not say "Check".  If your opponent touches a piece and realizes he is in check and cannot block or take the piece that is delivering check he can move that piece he touched to block or take that piece delivering check.  Once you hit the clock your turn is done and your opponent can take your King or move another piece.
Touch Move - If you touch a piece you have to move it.  If your King is in check look at "Snap King".
Triple Occurrence of Position - A player may be awarded a draw in blitz by triple occurrence of position based on the observation of a TD or impartial witness(es).
Both Flags down - DRAW
Removing player's hand from clock and pieces - Each player must remove his hand from the clock button after pressing the button and must keep his hand off the clock until the opponent has sealed the move by pressing his clock.
Operating clock - Each player must handle the clock with the same hand that moves the pieces.
Picking up clock - Each player is forbidden to pick up the clock once started.

Rochester Chess Center's Tiebreakers, as of 12/2014 - subject to change if revised & posted differently at the Chess Center
The following sequence of tiebreaks will be used for ordering the finish of players who complete the event with the same score:
1) Modified Median - Add up the scores of each player's opponents.  If the tied players have a plus score, their lowest scoring opponents score is discarded; if a minus score, their highest scoring opponent's score is discarded; an even score, both their highest and lowest scoring opponent's scores are discarded.
... remaining ties are then broken by...
2) Solkoff - Add up the scores of each tied player's opponents.
...remaining ties are then broken by...
3) Cumulative - Add up the running score of the tied players for each round.
...remaining ties are then broken by...
4) Cumulative scores of opposition - Add up the cumulative scores of each tied player's opposition.

Preliminary 4th round pairings are posted above.

It was another fine evening of superb chess at the Rochester chess Center. This week, we had another full house of players participating in the 18th Annual Community Chess Club of Rochester Championship. On the top boards, Abe Glasser continued to defend his title, and Wilson H.S. chess team player Webster Kehoe won his game. They are now the only two players with 3 points, entering the final round next Wednesday. We were happy to see many visitors to the club tonight, including David Hayes and Mike Kehoe, the coach for the Wilson H.S. team.

Ron Lohrman (tournament director) and Mike Lionti (tournament organizer) have teamed up for all 18 events over these last 18 years. Every year, this tournament is the highlight of chess competition in the chess club. We are very happy with the excellent participation again this year, and we hope chess continues to grow in Rochester, NY. 

A cross-table of the event will be posted over the weekend, along with the final round preliminary pairings.
