BURWOOD TRANSFER CHESS TOURNAMENT (SUMMER)

- Tournament Format:
This tournament is a ‘Swiss’ competition (approximately 7 rounds). This means that all pairs of players play 7 games and no-one is ‘knocked out’ of the tournament.
The time limit is 10 minutes per player per game.
Transfer Chess is played on two boards by four players, in teams of two. The normal rules of chess apply, except that pieces that have been captured are passed on to the team-mate on the other board, who then has the option of placing one piece on their board instead of making a move.
One piece in reserve can be placed on any empty square instead of making a move, including squares which deliver check or checkmate. Pawns cannot be dropped on the first or eighth rank, and do not promote (they stay as pawns if they reach the end of the board). Pieces in reserve must be visible at all times. Partners may talk to each other during the game, including piece requests and move suggestions.
The game ends on both boards when one player makes a checkmate, where there is no escape for the king, including placing a reserve piece to block a distant check. A player may wait for a reserve piece from the other board if needed to block such a distant check. Only one checkmate is needed to win. When there is a checkmate, the team that made the checkmate wins, and both boards stop playing.
Clock move applies in Transfer Chess, not touch move. This means that touch move does not apply - the move is only completed when a player presses their clock. The same hand that moves the piece must also press the clock, as in normal chess.
