Chessforums.org - GM Varuzhan Akobian
Details
GM Akobian has graciously offered to play the users of Chessforums.org in a correspondence match. Chessforums.org will have white in this game, GM Akobian will have black. The time control for both sides will be
roughly one move per week. Time saved will not be carried forward.
I will act as team captain for this game on behalf of Chessforums.org, only myself and GM Akobian will have ‘flagging rights’.
Candidate moves & voting
In the first round of voting, the candidate moves are selected. All users get to vote once, posting the move they want to see played next in the voting and discussion thread (which you’ll find by clicking here:
Chessforums.org - GM Varuzhan Akobian (Voting & Discussion) ). If after five days any move receives 50% or more, this move will be selected and played without a second round of voting.
If no move has 50% or more, I will select the most significant candidate moves for a second round of voting. This will take place in a poll, which I will edit each move, in the same voting and discussion thread (here:
Chessforums.org - GM Varuzhan Akobian (Voting & Discussion) ). The move that receives the most votes in the poll after two more days (ammounting to a total 7 days) will be selected and played.
The move that is selected and played will be posted in
this thread.
Purpose of this thread
The purpose of this thread is documentation. I will post the moves of our users here and relay post GM Akobian’s moves. I will limit the annotation during the game to voting percentages. This to keep this thread as clear as possible, making it easy to for all involved to see the game as it goes without having to dig through pages of discussion.
Credits
Thanks to GM Akobian and ChessMastered.com for making this happen, I wish everyone playing good chess!
