If you are looking for chess games played in the club, then please see the Events page, this page talks about games in general.
Players can play as many games as they want in the club. A maximum of 100 simultaneous games is a general setting to avoid overloading.
Many games run simultaneously by each player.
Games can be divided into three groups in the club. These are all standard chess games, all the rules apply, but some of their attributes are different according to which groups they belong to.
The following table shows the attributes of the games belonging to the three groups:
External tournaments that do not conform to the club's Regulations are not rated in club level. The games of these tournaments may also run under different time control than 10/30.
Modern chess tournaments began in the 1840s and the first international tournament was held in London, in 1851. Strong international tournaments were still quite rare and in the 1880s a master would have been lucky to be able to play in one reasonably strong tournament a year.
By the 1890s, however, a master could enter many strong tournaments throughout the year, and the prize money offered at tournaments made it possible for masters to have a professional chess career.
Nowadays there are many strong tournaments for masters and grandmasters, but there are also a huge number of tournaments for players of every strength. Weaker players today have the chance of improving their play by taking part in such tournaments, which are very competitive.
The server automatically sends reminders in 10 days, for those games where it's still your turn. If you have forgot a game, this helps preventing timeout.
The 10 days value can be adjusted as you want if you want reminders sooner or rather later. The 0 value turns this feature off.
