Each round will last two weeks. The deadline may be extended in exceptional situations solely by decision of the Tournament Director.
5. Time Control and Game Settings
The official time control is 45 minutes per player with a 30-second increment per move starting from move 1.
Playing a game with a time control different from the one established in these regulations will result in an automatic loss of the point for both players.
6. Official Time Zone and Playing Days
The official time zone of the tournament is UTC. Games may be played starting the first Monday after pairings are published.
7. Official Media Outlets
Pairings, results, and PGN files will be published on the group's official outlets, on the Chess-Results platform, by email, and in the Ajedrez Clásico 64 WhatsApp group.
8. Agreements Between Players, Challenges, and Color Assignment
The first three days of the round (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday until 24:00 UTC) are exclusively reserved for sending schedule offers. This does not mean that the game must be played during those three days.
For a proposal to be valid, the player must offer at least 3 options on different days and times. Every proposal or reply must include clear dates and times. Vague replies such as "I will think about it and let you know" or similar phrasing are not considered valid answers.
If both players fulfill the requirement of sending valid and varied proposals and replies but still fail to reach an agreement to schedule the game, both players lose the point.
The player with the White pieces is obligated to send the challenge on Lichess with the correct time control and color settings, and must keep proof of it, such as a screenshot.
If players play the game with colors reversed from the official pairing, the game is declared void and both players lose the point.
9. Default Schedule (Rule Time)
If players fail to reach a prior agreement, they must connect to play at the default schedule on the Sunday of the first week of the round.
If at least one of the two players does not reside in the Americas, the default schedule will be at 17:00 UTC. If both players reside in the Americas, the default schedule will be at 20:00 UTC.
10. Waiting Time and Forfeits
The waiting time is 15 minutes starting from the agreed time.
If a player fails to appear and does not give prior notice, they forfeit the game. If both players fail to appear, both lose the point. If one player gives timely notice that they cannot play, the win will be awarded to the present opponent.
11. Walkover
A walkover is declared when a player fails to appear for the game or when they log in but do not make any moves on the board.
12. Won Game
The point is awarded to a player when the Lichess server declares them the winner or in the case of an opponent's forfeit in accordance with the established rules.
13. Draw
Half a point is awarded if Lichess declares a draw or if both players agree to a draw on or after move 21. If players agree to a draw before completing 20 moves by the Black side, both players lose the game by direct application of these regulations.
14. Disconnections
Disconnections are subject to the automatic resolution provided by the Lichess server.
15. Withdrawal from the Tournament
