How many players from each group in the 1st stage qualify for the next phase?

Hello Misha.

It depends on the results in each tournament. Rules can be found on the waiting list page.

All 5th Ficgs Cup 1st Stage games are now complete. We can now progress onto the Final Stage.

Finally... I was waiting for the last game ending :) It should start today. It will be a (very) big tournament.

All Groups from Ficgs Cup 6 have finished. Time to Start the final

There is still one game going in one group. Not sure why I thought all groups were finished

now we have to wait, or TD makes a call ...

Group 2's final game has finished in stalemate and Thibault has to now declare the game drawn by the laws of chess.

And then we can get on with the final

The worst part is, that White cannot offer a draw, because he hast No move.
With only Kings ON Board you can move and offer it ;)

It is genuinely unfortunate that Thibault refuses to update the rules on this playing forum to allow for immediate 7 man claims.

As has been seen here, the final of the Ficgs 6th cup has been delayed by weeks because of this decision.

This can hardly be cause for attracting or keeping players over the long term.

weeks? play poker then it is years or death ;)

Result is showing as a draw. Now we await the start of the final

Sometimes some players want to play the until the very end in quite obvious positions... not exactly a dead man defense (it could last much longer and I would intervene in such case) so I prefer not to adjudicate it.

Finally, the chess cup final stage just started.
