A Dual
Chess Simultaneous Exhibition is an event where two high-ranking Chess players compete against multiple players all at once. It
is an exciting show of skill and endurance. When all games are finished, the
tournament director will present a tally of the results and present prizes for
challengers with wins or draws.
Prizes:
Opponents who achieve a
draw will receive a hardcover chess scorebook (up to $12 value).
Opponents who achieve a win will receive a chess video DVD of their choice (up to $20 value). David and Henry will be presented with a base prize ($50) and an incentive prize for one of the following: No losses and no draws (a perfect score!) $100; No more than 9 points lost $50; No more than 12 points lost $40.
Dual Chess Simultaneous Exhibition Rules:
- David
and Henry play with white pieces on all chess boards.
-
David and Henry will generally maintain an overall half-way distance between
the total in-progress chess games.
-
Each opponent will make their move only when either David or Henry approaches
the chessboard.
-
Each opponent will get one pass to have more time to make a move.
-
Each opponent should write down the game moves on a score sheet until only 5
opponents left. When the game finishes, you can ask David and Henry to sign it.
-
When 1 to 5 players are remaining, it is at David’s, Henry’s and the TDs
discretion how much time the opponent will be given between moves; if the
opponent is taking too long, David and Henry will work with the TD to speed up
the game moves.
- David
and Henry have the right to change his move until the moment he makes his move
on the next board.
- No talking and kibitzing (including spectators) is permitted while games are
in-progress; cell phones should be turned off or on vibrate to avoid
distracting participants.
-
The tournament director will assist to ensure all players follow the rules. If
necessary, the TD may speed up late-running games with a clock or timer/stopwatch
to blitz through the remainder of a game.
