Ever-growing and dy- namic chess arbiters' society is no exception. FIDE Arbiters' Commission has undertaken the task of publishing an online mag- azine for chess arbiters where the most actual problems of chess arbiters’ day- to-day professional life will be analyzed and the most perplexing cases will be scrutinized. The online format allows immediate response of the audience and favors vivid discussions. I am convinced that this new magazine will be of great help for chess arbiters around the world and wish it big success and active and competent readers. Gens Una Sumus! Kirsan Ilyumzhinov FIDE President periodiko arbiters_Layout 1 29/7/2015 11:45 πμ Page 2 Introduction Dear friends, The FIDE Arbiters’ Commission has the pleasure to publish the first issue of the Arbiters’ Magazine. This publication is our attempt to offer to all the Arbiters around the world the necessary knowledge and information, to enable them to exercise their du- ties in the best way. The Magazine will include real incidents from the tournaments and respective actions of the Arbiters, as well as decisions taken by the FIDE Congresses and Presidential Boards in connection to the Arbiters. It will also contain any other information that can be useful to the Arbiters. Many thanks to the Arbiters’ Commission Editorial Subcommittee of IA Aris Marghetis (CAN), Secretary of the FIDE Arbiters’ Commission, and IA Carlos Dias (POR), Member of the FIDE Arbiters’ Commission, who collect the material for publication in every issue of the Magazine and prepare it for publication.

  • An Arbiter's Notebook
    What is a Valid Claim? Purchases from our shop help keep ChessCafe.com freely accessible: Question Dear, Geurt. I was the Arbiter in Grandmaster Group C during the Corus Chess tournament. I was able to observe the way players handled the new speed of play: 40 moves in 100', followed by 20 in 50', followed by 15', while there was an increment of 30 seconds per move starting from move one. When not in time trouble, thirteen out of fourteen players recorded their move immediately after having made it, or after their opponent's move; one player recorded her opponent's move together with her own move, directly after having made a move herself. An Arbiter’s However, when in time trouble, with a recording requirement till the end, this Notebook changed. Many of the players now recorded their moves the way player fourteen did from the beginning. But four players in different rounds started to Play Chess Like the Pros blitz illegally when their opponent answered a move immediately in a legal by Danny Gormally Geurt Gijssen way. Undoubtedly, this is caused by the fact that in games without increment it is allowed to blitz without recording moves when a player has less than five minutes for that part of the game. Once a player even had to stop the clock and ask for assistance. His opponent had started blitzing, triggered by an immediate answer; actually I am convinced that the player who started the blitzing was not doing this on purpose. Players in time trouble, filled with adrenaline, are eager to make an immediate counter-move.
