The Lines of Action World Championship will be played in London on August 22nd 2011 at the University of London Union. This is the standard 8x8 variant. It is my understanding that the event will be a 7-rd Swiss event with 25 or 30 minutes per player and controlled by an International Chess arbiter. Last years' World Championship was won by Andres Kuusk from Estonia. Results after the event will be posted here or can be found at the official website, www.boardability.com.
The event is being run as part of the annual Mind Sports Olympiad featuring Chess, Lines of Action, Poker, Backgammon and many other games. The MSO 2011 will run from Aug 20-28. Full details are available at www.boardability.com. Please see that website or send me a message for further details. It would be good if some enthusiasts who play here were able to make the trip.
This tournament (http://brainking.com/en/Tournaments?tri=544073&sadb=1) has a 'time control' setting of 5 days 5 hours, but all the running games show more than that, like 7 days and change, even if no move is yet played. Why would a player get over 7 days for his first move when the time control in the tournament definition says 5 days and 5 hours??

Can somebody give me a hint where to find a bit of info about 'Fellowships'? There seems to be no explanation anywhere (well or I didn't find it).
I understand that you go into a fellowship to play team tournaments, but what else is the point? - can you be in multiple fellowships? - if so, what happens if they play each other? - how do you get to play if a fellowship has 100 members and the tournament only 5 games? Random? - why are fellowships so eager to get new members (I got >10 invites the day I became a member) - and most important: how do I choose the right fellowship for me?
Aganju: 1. Yes you can join as many fellowships as you would like. 2.you can only join a team for a game type in one fellowship but can join teams in any fellowship, eg, you can be on the checker team in fellowship A. but not B. at the same time, you can however be on the checker team in fellowship A and the backgammon team in fellowship B, therefore there is no conflict. 3.every team has a captain and determines who plays on their team, some by ratings some by first come first serve. 4. some like to be "the best". Also the bigger the fellowship, the more active it is, usually 5.most fellowships have descriptions on their main page, you can click on these names to read them http://brainking.com/en/Fellowships
ennukene00: No, I'm telling you for sure, non members of your fellowship cannot join it. I tried, just to experiment. It wouldn't let me.
In this one Eesti Selts pokker I get the following message, just as I would expect : "You cannot join this tournament because you are not a member of Eesti Selts fellowship. "
rod03801: company union, which is free and can participate in the sample. I wrote it, after all. Read again the success of joining the profession but also send
ennukene00: I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry for the language barrier. To join a tournament created inside a Fellowship, a person has to be a member of your fellowship. That's just how it works.
Skeeky: When creating the tourney, there is an area that allows you to attach a prize.
If it is already created, but no one has signed up, perhaps delete it and start again. If it is already created, and only a few have signed up,perhaps delete it, start again, and inform those who did sign up. Or maybe write to Fencer, and he can manually attach the prize?
Skeeky: Well, I take that back. It's been a long time since I created a prize tourney. I just looked, and unless I'm blind, I no longer see an area to make it a prize tourney.
I read that once you assign a price, it generates an order for you. Once you pay that order, the price will be enabled. So check in your profile under 'orders'.
rod03801: There is a drop down box to choose which type of prize tourney you want to hold. But I believe it only works where there is only one game type. ;)
Aganju: I wasn't looking to actually set it up. I was looking for the location of the choice to make it a prize tournament. Though of course I misunderstood the original question anyway, which wasn't even about that.
Skeeky: If this is the tournament you speak of I forgot to name the tourney just purchase the 1 month bishop then send fencer this link and ask him to mark it paid. Include your payment invoice number as well.
