If you cannot contact your opponent on Lichess it is probably due to Kid Mode Enabled. In this case please email or message CrowChess and I will swap emails with your opponent.

The plan for Online play
The online games will
be on LICHESS.org and played as before with 10 minutes per side plus 5 seconds
per move.
Of course you will not
be able to play "rock, scissors, paper" to decide who plays White.
Instead you will ask Lichess to decide randomly who plays White (unless you are
replaying a game previously drawn and so you know you will play the colour
opposite to that which you played in the previous game, e.g. games #5 & #8
of Round Two).
Instructions for using
LICHESS.org
I am new to Lichess
but it looks reasonably simple to use. Please follow the following steps:
- Well before your
game you should register on Lichess and email me your Lichess Username because
your opponent will need that when it comes to arranging the game online. Mine
is "Grisenj".
- When it comes to
the time for playing your game login to Lichess.org and make sure you know your
opponents Lichess Username (I will email you these). Then for each pair of
players one of you (the eldest say, i.e. Palitha, David, Raina and myself) click
on "Play a Friend".
- This causes a popup
box to appear and you select:
- Variant to be
"Standard"
- Time Control to be
"Real Time"
- Use the slide bars to
select 10 minutes per side and an incrememnt of 5 seconds per move.
- Click
"Rated"
- Then for deciding the
colour you play click the larger middle symbol if it is to be determined at
random (otherwise click the colour you are to play if that is already known in
the case to repeating a game previously drawn).
- A new screen now
comes up entitiled "Challenge to a game". Go to the right hand box
headed "or invite a Lichess User:" and type in the username of your
opponent.
- The opponent who is
being invited (i.e. on Monday these will be Benjamin, Elena, Suriya and Daniel)
waits for the above steps to be completed by their opponent and then clicks on
the crossed swords symbol at the top right hand side of their screen to accept
the challenge.
- The next screen
both players should see is the chess board and the game may start.
- Note there is no
remission for mouse errors in moving pieces so be careful of this especially if
you are rushing when low on time.
- Also note if your
own internet connection goes slow or even fails during the game that is just
tough. It is quite likely to happen to me because my connection is deadful!
Well I hope the above
does not prove to be too complex. I think this can work and will certainly help
keep us amused during these grim times.
Good luck to the 8
players trying this on Monday (and to the 4 players waiting in the Quarter
Final to play the 4 winners!)
The results of games
and the schedule are also set out in this website (click on
"Crowborough" and then click on "2nd Club KO Blitz"): ECF LM
