General Information

KOs are generally played in 3 rounds of 2 game matches, one as white, one as black. 
Winners advance, defeated players are "knocked out".

*	Round 1: Eight players are paired in two-game matches.
*	Round 2: The 4 survivors are paired in two-game matches.
*	Round 3: The 2 finalists are paired in a two-game match.

Note: The winner of the final round is the tournament Champion. Their name will 
shine forever in KO 'Hall of Fame'

Both games in a 2 game match must be played concurrently! Failure to do so will 
constitute a time violation, and may incur a forfeit.

If a match is drawn: the player with the lower rating on the Pairing e-mail for 
that round, advances.

IECC TWO-GAME/TRIO MATCHES:

The 2-game/trio TD's are:

* Bill Martin
* Peter Gorissen

To request a match send an e-mail to
 and include:

* Your full name
* Your e-mail address
* Whether you want a 2-game match, a trio match or either
* Exact number of matches you want to play
* Your IECC rating, if known

A limit of 5 matches may be requested at any one time. 

Please Note: If you want a trio, it can take anywhere from 1 week to a few
weeks to set up. We suggest a 2-game if you do not wish to wait for a trio

General Information
* Each match: 2 games against 1 opponent, 1 as white, and 1 as black OR
  4 games against 2 opponents, 2 as white and 2 as black.
* Assignment: Opponents within 200-300 rating points, depending on rating.
* Please indicate if you prefer a 2-game, trio or either.
* These games must be played concurrently. Failure to do so will be in 
  violation of IECC Guidelines.

SWISS Tournaments:

last update: September 30, 2004

 	
* George Agnew Senior TD
* Raouf El-Messiry TD
* Ben Newman  TD
* Marcos Varela  TD

To sign up for OPEN groups send an e-mail to  
and include the following:

* Your full name
* Your e-mail address
* Your IECC rating, if known

These OPEN events are open for all ratings / open for all IECC members. New groups 
will start with every 24 entrants. Four single Rounds each starting after a 
previous round is completed.


General information
* Time control: pace at least 10 moves @ 30 days, but faster is better (to avoid 
  too long waiting times, longterm games will be provisionally adjudicated for 
  next round pairings!).

* These are NOT KO-Tournaments! - All Participants have to play all rounds.

* In round 1 (partly in 2) bigger rating differences between opponents are 
  'normal'. For the weaker player an interesting challenge (and stronger players 
  should remember, when they were beginners, and be ready to defeat their higher 
  rating). 

* Leave of Absences - Each player will be granted requested time off not to exceed
  30 days in each round of the Swiss. Additional time of up to 15 days per Round 
  will be subject to approval of both the TD and the opponent. Granting of that 
  extra time will depend on the status or rate of progression of that match. 
  Players taking "silent" or non-approved time off will be subject to forfeit by 
  the arbiter.

IECC THEMATIC CHALLENGES:

last update: September 30, 2004

• Craig Brophy
• Pete Raynolds
• Grahame Booth

To request a match send an e-mail to 
and include the following:

* Your full name
* Your e-mail address
* Your IECC rating, if known
* Name of Thematic (see list below)


WE WILL ATTEMPT TO ASSIGN OPPONENTS WITHIN A 400 POINT RATING DIFFERENTIAL. 
THE TD MAY USE HIS DISCRTION AND ASSIGN OPPONENTS WHOSE RATING DIFERENTIAL 
IS BETWEEN 400 AND 500 POINTS. HOWEVER, IF THE OPPONENTS AGREE, THE TD WILL 
ASSIGN OPPONENTS WITH LARGE RATING DIFFERENTIAL (ABOVE 500 POINTS).

This is a great way to explore openings you want to try Both players play a 
game with White and a game with Black in the same Thematic opening challenge.

The waiting list below is split into two sections. The first section concerns 
those opening variations which have at least one player who is waiting for an 
opponent.

The second section concerns proposed openings that have not as yet a waiting 
request.

We are open to all suggestions of any openings that are not published in this 
list providing of course we can find the necessary number of opponents.

Abbreviated rules:
1. MEMBERS WITH UNEXPLAINED FORFEITS ON THEIR RECORD WILL NOT BE PERMITTED 
   ENTRY INTO FUTURE THEMATICS EVENTS 

2. Each player in a Thematic Challenge plays two rated games; one as White, 
   one as Black.

3. All Thematic two game matches are open events. 

4. Check IECC Bulletins/Guidelines for detailed rules. 

5. In the event that 3 players sign up at once the TD reserve the right to 
   change the 2 game matches to a Trio.

Here is the list of players currently waiting for an opponent. We certainly 
are interested in adding any other opening variation to this list, provided 
that there are enough players who are interested in playing a specific 
variation.
