Petua Pertandingan Catur- Pengalaman Rimau
Making the Most of Your
Chess Tournament Experience.
So you are going to a chess tournament!
Congratulations! - it will be fun.
Here are some tips to enhance your experience
• If possible, register by mail, phone or sms ahead of time
• Get plenty of sleep. Playing chess correctly is fun, but tiring - a well rested player is a much better player.
• Know the directions to the tournament and give yourself a little extra time - no sense missing the first round because of a traffic jam, sesat etc
• Bring your equipment(if any)! - a few pencils/pens to record your games (if you know how). Also, put your name on your bag, board, and clock, and your initials under each chess piece - this helps greatly in both identifying your equipment and preventing it from being stolen.
• Learn ahead of time how to set your chess clocks. If it is a digital clock, read the instructions and set the clock ahead of time to the time limit advertised for your tournament.
• Learn algebraic notation (this is not required, but it is easily learned and is taught in almost every beginner’s book). That way you can keep score and go over your games later.
• Make sure to check the dates/times of registration and the times of the rounds. Find your first round pairing after the pairing sheet is posted(biasanya dilekat di dinding), just before the time of the first round.
• Bring drinking water and a small snack to eat during long games - most tournaments allow players to eat quietly (no chips! Kalau ada buah kurma lagi baik) during a game, and it is important not to get too hungry.
• During the game, if there is any question at all, please GET THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR(TD).
• Etiquette: Before the game, introduce yourself to your opponent to make sure you are playing the correct person. Shake hands before Black starts the clock to start the game. During the game, limit talking to comments such as "Would you like a draw?" or "That is an illegal move", or "You touched that piece, you have to move it". You may say "check", but it is not necessary, and against strong opponents it is considered an insult (they know it is check). If you are in a hopeless position, resign by saying "I resign" or purposely turning down your King; a handshake does not end the game, but shaking hands after the game is over is expected. If you need to adjust a piece that has fallen down or is not centered, do so on your time, but before you do, say "I adjust" or "J'adoube". If you have a problem keeping score, you can ask your opponent to borrow his scoresheet, but only when your time is running.
• After the game, BOTH players, win or lose, must report their result by putting a "1" next to the winner and a "0" next to the loser (or 1/2 in the case of a draw) on the pairing sheet (the sheet that told you who you were playing and where).
• If you lose, relax! It is only a game!
• Before you leave, make sure you have all your equipment, and be sure to pick up any prizes you have won!
• Tell the tournament director what you liked about the tournament - he will appreciate both your effort and your comments!
• Players who play in their first tournament usually learn quite a bit, and all good chess players at one point in their career played regular tournament chess. You may be extra nervous in your first few events, but after that (like most experiences) it will not seem so new.
GOOD LUCK!
