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:

Games from challenges Games from pairing Tournament games
Rating Rated or friendly Rated Rated
Time Control Without time control, 10/30, 10/40, 10/50 or 5+1 10/30 10/30

Colour Challenger can choose, challenged player plays white by default Player with older pairing request plays white Colors are according to the tournament's rules
Variant Traditional or Fischer Random, as the challenger wants Traditional Traditional
Publicity Private Private Public
Deletion With the opponent's agreement With the opponent's agreement Can't be deleted

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.


The Kuruksetra battle

When the morning of that day has dawned, the two parties faced each other in arms.
The warriors stood in four rows: kings and princes in front on shining charriots, in jewelry and gold-adorned armors, with glistening weapons. Battle flags swung on high poles of each chariots, they will recognize each others and the enemy in the deepest bustle of the battle.
The cavarly formed the second line. They were ready on light and quick horses, to support the charriots.
Huge elephants like mountains stood in the third line, armored frameworks on their back, fullfilled with archers and lancers: when the charriots and chavarly disarranged the enemy, they will roll like rocks over them.
The infantry formed the fourth line behind the elephants, with shields and swords, to settle the battle with their bulk.
(from the Mahabharata)

Position of the chess pieces is similar to the above:
Infantry: the pawns
Charriots: the rooks
Chavarly: the knights
Elephants: the bishops (on sematical illustrations in the Middle Ages they were similar to the fools hat: the name of this piece is fou in Franche, which means fool, and Laufer in German which means something like bishop)
The queen is a minister of the king in the easter chess, fersan in Persian, and mudabbi in Arabic.
 
Starting Games

Games start from the standard initial setup by default, but it is possible to start new games from any setup.
Other setups can be given at challenges, in the following two ways::
  • With move list: the given sequence of valid moves that reach the specific setup.
  • With FEN line: this is the standard one line description of any position (either invalid)
With these two ways we can excersize openings, middle games or endings, or can replay games from one point, or else.
