Playing Tournaments
Things to Know!
Tournament Chess has 2 general modes: Fun/Unrated, and Official Rated Tournaments. This is the place to find quick references that cover everything from what to expect, what to do if you have a question during your game, special moves and their rules, how points are scored, is it a knock-out, round robin, or other system of play, when is my move over, etc. The rules for Official Rated Tournaments are more extensive. The official rule book for chess is recommended to keep up on any rule changes. These references will indicate whether or not official tournament rules differ.
