Rules Mobile phones If the mobile phone of a player is making a sound in the playing venue, the penalty in accordance with the FIDE rules will have to be a red card and loss of the game. Also all use of a mobile phone by a player during a game, without permission in advance from the arbiters, will result in a red card and a lost game! Mobile phones on the playing boards are not allowed, and all mobile phones in the playing venue must be switched off as long as any game is played. Also no iPhones, iPads, computers etc are allowed to be switched on inside the playing venue. Quickplay Finishes Appendix G (for “Quickplay Finishes”) in the FIDE laws of chess will be used for this tournament. Following this the G.5 rule (earlier known as 10.2 rule, giving arbiters the possibility to declare a game drawn after the demand of a player if the arbiters consider that the player can only lose the game on time), applies. Please note this applies only for the last time control, and that the player claiming a draw must do so while having the move and having less than two minutes left for the game. Nearly needless to write, for such a demand to be accepted the player demanding a draw must have a position very difficult to lose on the board. This in most cases means the material in general and the pawns in particular must be very much reduced – and/or the position very blocked.
