FOREWORD

This leaflet started from the work of mr. Pieter ten Cate in 1971 and Suomen Shakki nr. 4a/1979, which was published for the Hyvinkää meeting of the Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions (PCCC). The material has been col-lected during my 40 Commis sion meetings since 1969. During that period I have been the Secretary of the Commis sion for 12 years and the 1st Vice-President in 1994–98 and 2002–. Dr. Klaus Wenda and Helmut Zajic have helped in completing the official part since 1989.

The FIDE-Album statistics have been computed from a database contain ing the registers of all 20 Al-bums with 2034 composers and 20100 compositions.

The detailed results of the first 20 WCSC tourneys (and problems with solutions) have been published in my book ”World Chess Solving Championship 1977–1996” in 1997. An updated edition ”World Chess Solving Championship 1977–2007” by Hannu Harkola and Ľubomír Širáň was published in 2007.

The first version of this booklet with the title ”Prob-lem Chess Lists” was printed in August 1989, the second edition in August 1993 and the third edition in July 1998. The fourth edition was published in 2007 only as a pdf-file. I have received a lot of corrections and I want to thank all those who have helped me. Dr. Bedrich Formánek has checked and corrected the writing of names. The new title for the fourth edition was suggested by John Rice

Most of this material is available also on the WFCC web site at http://wfcc.ch and the latest amendments can be found there.

If a Country Member is entirely absent from three successive Ordinary Meetings of the WFCC, the latter is entitled to decide, in an Ordinary Session, to expel the Country Member. The Country Member in question must first have the opportunity to make written represen-tations on the matter. Provided that the due conditions are fulfilled, a resumption of representation at a later Ordinary Meeting is permissible.5. Country Members committing acts which run counter to the Statutes of the WFCC or its resolutions and deci-sions or not fulfilling other duties according to WFCC decisions may be temporarily or definitely excluded from the WFCC by a decision at an Ordinary Meeting of the WFCC, on the proposal of the Presidium.6.

positionsc. FIDE Master for Chess Compositionsd. International Judge of the FIDE for Chess Compo-

sitions e. International Solving Grandmaster of the FIDE f. International Solving Master of the FIDE g. FIDE Solving Masterh. Honorary Master of Chess Composition

Rules for the attribution of titlesComposing titlesa) “Grandmaster of the FIDE for Chess Compositions”A problem composer must have at least 70 problems in the Albums. For a study composer the corresponding minimum number of studies required in Albums is 42.b) “International Master of the FIDE for Chess Compo-sitions”A problem composer must have at least 25 problems in the Albums. For a study composer the corresponding minimum number of studies required in Albums is 15.c) “FIDE Master for Chess Compositions”A problem composer must have at least 12 problems in the Albums. For a study composer the corresponding minimum number of studies required in Albums is 8.

In counting the points for the mentioned master titles, the value of a joint composition will be divided by the number of composers collaborating. If a composer com-petes with problems as well as studies then one study = 1 and 2/3 problems.Judging titled) “International Judge of the FIDE for Chess Composi-tions”Only national chess federations, national associations for chess compositions as well as the members of the WFCC have the right to propose a member of their chess federation as a candidate for the title “International Judge”.The standing Qualifications Committee examines the proposal in the WFCC. The candidate has to fulfil the following qualifications:i) First application for the title International Judge in one section: 6 awards among them at least 4 awards in the section applied for and among them two published abroad are needed.ii) First application for the title International Judge in more than one section: 4 awards (among them two published abroad) in one section which must be signi-fied as first section and 3 awards in each other section are needed.

To obtain a norm a solver must achieve a minimum per-formance rating 2650 / 2550 / 2450. He must be placed within the number of solvers with the qualifying rating 2600 / 2500 / 2400 (i.e. at least sixth place when there are six solvers with rating min. 2600 / 2500 / 2400). Solving titlese) International Solving Grandmaster of the FIDE: A solver must gain a norm 3 times (at least once at the WCSC or ECSC) and achieve a rating of 2600.f) International Solving Master of the FIDE: A solver must gain a norm twice and achieve a rating of 2500.g) FIDE Solving Master: A solver must gain a norm twice and achieve a rating of 2400.Honorary titleh) Honorary Master of Chess CompositionThis title can be granted to problemists aged more than 70 years, having great merits in problem chess, who did not succeed in getting one of the master titles mentioned above.

Annex IV: Procedure for Presidium elections1. Elections to the Presidium shall be held at every fourth Ordinary Meeting of the WFCC. Voting shall take place for all four posts in the same year. However, if a Presidium post falls permanently vacant during the term of office, a special election may be held for the relevant post, if the WFCC deems this appropriate, but the can-didate elected shall serve only for the remainder of the original four-year period.2. In an election year, a special meeting of the WFCC shall be arranged for the purpose of voting, not later than the penultimate day of the Congress, and at no later than 21.00 on that day.3. At the opening session of the WFCC in an election year, the President shall nominate a working party of three persons from different countries to supervise the elections. One of the three should normally be the Sec-retary. No current delegate or deputy may be a member of this working party.4. A delegate wishing to stand for election to the Pre-sidium shall give his name on paper to the working party by 22.00 on the day before the elections are to be held. The paper must show clearly the post or posts for which the delegate wishes to stand.5. The working party shall display a list of the candi-dates for each post by 9.00 on the day of the elections. No additions shall then be made to this list, except as provided for in paragraph 7 below. Withdrawals, how-

ever, will be permitted.6. The election shall be held in a closed session of the WFCC. One member of the working party (not the Sec-retary) shall take the chair. Each post shall be dealt with separately, starting with the President and continuing through the Vice-Presidents in order. The chairman shall read out the names of the candidates for the Presidency. At this point each of these candidates may, if he so wishes, address the WFCC for a maximum of 10 min-utes. Afterwards there can be a discussion. The chairman shall then invite delegates to record in secret their vote for one of these candidates, on paper provided for the purpose. Any candidate obtaining a majority of the votes cast shall be declared elected. Otherwise delegates will vote again between the two candidates gaining the most votes in the first round. In the event of a tie in the second round, the chairman shall call a recess of not more than 10 minutes, after which the vote shall be taken again. If the result is again a tie, the chairman shall determine the outcome by selecting one of two folded slips of paper each bearing the name of one candidate.7. Any candidate defeated in the vote for the Presidency may now declare his candidature for any or all of the posts of Vice-President, if he has not already done so. The chairman shall read out the names of candidates for the post of 1st Vice-President. Any candidate may ad-dress the WFCC for not more than 10 minutes, provided he has not already spoken.8. In the event of a tie, the same procedure shall be ad-opted as for the Presidency.9. The posts of 2nd and 3rd Vice-President shall be dealt with in exactly the same way, with previously defeated candidates being entitled to stand, and candidates having the same right to address the WFCC for a maximum of 10 minutes.10. All the voting shall take place within the same ses-sion.11. The duties of the working party shall cease as soon as the new Presidium has been elected in its entirety.

Annex V: Verification of representatives’ right to rep-resent their country memberUpon his first appearance in the WFCC Meeting, a del-egate must provide an official document issued by the country member that he represents.Upon each appearance in the WFCC Meeting, a deputy must provide a written document from the delegate or country member that nominated him.

Rules for rating calculation

The basis for calculating ratings at a solving tournament is the average of ratings of all solvers with ratings (Av-eRat) and the average of achieved results of those solvers (AveRes).

AveRat = average rating of all solvers with ratings (sub-tracting by 1600)AveRes = average result of all solvers with ratings

A rating for a solver without a rating:

It is calculated as a performance rating (PerfRat), i.e. a temporary rating achieved by a solver at a tournament upon the formula:

PerfRat = AveRat × Res / AveRes

Res = result of a solver achieved at a tournament

Solver’s first rating is called half-rating. At his next tour-nament he gets another half-rating. The average of all half-ratings is calculated and entered into the rating list.

Change of a rating for a solver with a rating:

The expected result (ExpRes) is calculated for all solvers with ratings upon the formula:

ExpRes = AveRes × Rat / AveRat

Rat = rating of a solver from the latest rating list

The expected result might exceed 100% of the winner’s result. In such case the corrections (CorrExpRes and CorrPerfRat) are made upon the formulas:

CorrExpRes = AveRes + (ExpRes - AveRes) × (MaxRes - AveRes) / ( MaxExpRes - AveRes)

CorrExpRes = corrected expected result (cannot exceed 100% of the winner’s result)MaxRes = result of the winnerMaxExpRes = the highest expected result before correc-

tion (higher than the winner’s result)

CorrPerfRat = AveRat + (PerfRat – AveRat) / (MaxPer-fRat – AveRat) * (MaxRes * MaxRat / MaxCorrExpRes – AveRat)

CorrPerfRat = corrected performance ratingMaxRat = the highest solver’s ratingMaxPerfRat = performance rating of the winnerMaxCorrExpRes = the highest corrected expected result

A change of a rating (ChOfRat) is calculated from the difference between the expected result and the achieved result upon the formula:

ChOfRat = KT × (Res - ExpRes)or in a case of correction:ChOfRat = KT × (Res - CorrExpRes)

KT = tournament coefficient (from 1 to 4)

If the problems in the tournament do not score 5 points each the KT is corrected upon the formula:

CorrKT = KT × 5 × N / AbsMaxResCorrKT = corrected tournament coefficientN = number of problems at the tournamentAbsMaxRes = theoretical MaxRes at the tournament

New rating is calculated upon the formula:

NewRat = Rat + ChOfRat

If NewRat is negative it is corrected to zero. All calcula-tions are made to the second decimal place. Ratings are published as integers. For publishing use the ratings are increased by 1600.

After five years of non-participating in rated tournaments a solver is expelled from the rating (half-rating) list. For the further participation his original rating (but not half-rating) is accepted.

SOLVERS’ RATINGA rating is an integer value which shows the solving strength of a solver. A solver gains it by solving at two approved / rated tournaments.

A rating can be gained at the WCSC, ECSC, WCCC-Open, or other tournaments which fulfil definite criteria.

Ratings are calculated after each tournament. A rating list is published four times a year. It is calculated on the basis of the results of solving tournaments completed (includ-ing the report) by the end of March, June, September and

December. If a tournament starts in one period and is finished in another period, the ratings of solvers are taken from the rating list valid at the start of the tournament, and the tournament is included in the period when it is finished. In a case that at the same tournament different tables are produced (like one extra for juniors) ratings are calculated only for the mayor tournament.

The WFCC gives authority to a person(s) or a commis-sion responsible for calculating ratings according to the approved formulas.

A frame for coefficients for tournaments organised according to others rules:

Coefficient Criteria for tournament 2.0 WCCC-Open 1.5 ISC, not-WCSC-type tournament for norms 1.0 Others tournaments

The representative (commission) has the right to confirm or not the acceptability of the tournament and determines the tournament coefficient.

This version of the rules was accepted at the PCCC Congress in Wageningen 2006.

Criteria for acceptability of the tournaments at which ratings and norms can be gained

At the tournament at least 10 solvers with ratings from at least 2 countries (15 from at least 3 countries for gaining norms) should compete.

The selected problems should be originals or alternatively unknown published problems. The selected problems should show a clear theme and a good level of quality and difficulty and should represent different styles.

For tournaments organised according to the WCSC rules, the full coefficient may be used to calculate ratings.

For other tournaments at most one half of the normal coefficient is used to calculate ratings. In those tourna-ments there should be at least 12 problems of different types to solve. Problems for solving can be chosen from seven groups: twomovers, threemovers, moremovers, endgames, helpmates, selfmates and fairy problems. At the tournament at least 5 groups with at least 2 problems must be represented. No group can be represented with

more than 3 problems. The tournament could be divided into several rounds and/or days. If all problems do not score the 5 points each the tournament coefficient is cor-rected for calculating ratings. When fairy problems are included in the tournament it is recommended that the corresponding fairy conditions are announced at least two months beforehand. This is obligatory for the WCCC Open and it must be announced on the WFCC-site and on the WCCC organiser’s web-site if it exists.

All tournament documentation (problems with solu-tions, complete list with the results and ratings, judge’s statement on the competition acceptability and possible complaints, etc) should be sent to the responsible WFCC representative (commission) within 30 days after the end of the competition. The representative (commission) has the right to confirm or not the acceptability of the tourna-ment and determines the tournament coefficient. The final decision is approved by the WFCC.

Norms for the titles International Solving Grandmaster of the FIDE (GM), International Solving Master of the FIDE (IM), FIDE Solving Master (FM) can be gained if at least 5 title holders with ratings GM 2550 / IM 2450 / FM 2350 and other solvers with the obligatory qualify-ing rating - 2600 for GM / 2500 for IM / 2400 for FM altogether compete at the tournament.

A norm for the title of GM / IM / FM: To obtain a norm a solver must achieve a minimum per-formance rating 2650 / 2550 / 2450. He must be placed within the number of solvers with the qualifying rating 2600 / 2500 / 2400 (i.e. at least sixth place when there are six solvers with rating min. 2600 / 2500 / 2400).

Version 5 20.WCSC, ECSC rules

WCSC, ECSC

Round 4 and Round 6 may be exchanged. The breaks between rounds are at least 15 minutes.

2.1. The WCSC (ECSC) is organised by a country which is a member of the FIDE and has been appointed by the WFCC.

2.2. WCSC (ECSC) is open to all members of the FIDE (ECU).

2.3. The WCSC (ECSC) is an official team world championship if teams of at least 7 countries par-ticipate. It is an official individual World (European) championship if at least 30 solvers from at least 10 countries participate. For juniors (up to 23 years in the year of event), women and seniors (from 60 years in the year of event) required numbers are 10 solvers from 7 different countries.

3.1. The organising country nominates the Director of the WCSC (ECSC), if possible, before the an-nouncement of the tournament. It is recommended that the Director should have a title FIDE Solving Judge or he should have experiences as a director / judge of at least three rated solving tournaments.

3.2. The organising country has to nominate an Assist-ant Director to represent the Director in case he is unable to attend the WCSC (ECSC).

3.3. The Director is responsible for the selection of

problems to be solved. He makes the diagram copies for the tournament. It is his responsibility to ensure that the solvers do not know the selection of problems.

4.1. The teams consist of three (four at ECSC) solvers and the team-leader who may be one of the solv-ers. Teams consisting of only two (two or three at ECSC) solvers are also permitted. The members of the teams simultaneously compete in the individual championship.

4.2. All countries are entitled to enter one team,, the organising country two teams. A country participat-ing with team(s) is allowed to nominate one further solver for the individual championship.

4.3. A country may nominate two more solvers from extra categories (juniors / women / seniors) out of this quota. For the junior’s / women’s / senior’s championship juniors / women / seniors from the regular national quota compete as well.

4.4. A country not participating with a team may send one (one or two at ECSC) solver(s) for the indi-vidual championship.

4.5. The three best solvers of a WCSC (ECSC) are entitled to participate in the following individual WCSC (ECSC) if they are not among the solvers as defined above.

5.1. A country must notify the organiser of its intention to participate not later than three months before the tournament; unless in the organiser’s announcement a later date is given.

5.2. The rules for the eligibility of participating solvers (whether team members or individual nominees) shall be the same as for FIDE over-the-board events.

5.3. Each country must notify the names of all solvers participating on its behalf in writing to the Direc-tor or the person nominated for this purpose by the Director or WFCC not less than 24 hours before the tournament starts. If required the notification must include all documents according to the FIDE rules for establishing the eligibility of the participants.

5.4. The WFCC or the person so nominated is respon-sible for determining the eligibility of participants.

5.5. Teams and/or solvers may be admitted at a later time

at the discretion of the Director.

RULES FOR THE WORLD (EUROPEAN) CHAMPIONSHIP IN SOLVING OF CHESS PROBLEMS (WCSC/ECSC)

1.1. The WCSC (ECSC) is a competition for national teams and individual solvers.

1.2. It consists of 6 rounds over two days, with 3 rounds each day according to the following table:

Round 1: 3 twomovers 20 minutes solving timeRound 2: 3 threemovers 60 minutes solving timeRound 3: 3 endgames 100 minutes solving timeRound 4: 3 helpmates (h#2, h#3, h# > 3) 50 minutes solving timeRound 5: 3 moremovers (at least one 4# and one 5#) 80 minutes solving timeRound 6: 3 selfmates (s#2, s#3, s# > 3) 50 minutes solving time

Version 5 21.WCSC, ECSC rules

WCSC, ECSC

6.1. The problems to be solved should be originals, or, alternatively, little known published problems, preferably modified.

6.2. The selected problems should show a clear theme and a good level of quality and difficulty. It is rec-ommended that in every round, the three problems should represent different styles.

6.3. Fairy conditions and retro problems are not allowed. The positions should be legal. All problems should have only one solution, except in the helpmate round when more single solutions are specified. The problems should be computer tested as far as possible.

7.1. The problems to be solved must be presented on printed diagrams.

7.2. A solver may use the chess board(s) and men made available by the organiser, or his own set(s). The use of all electronic or technological aids which can help in solving is forbidden as well as any other kind of unfair behaviour. The Director's rights and duties are to prevent any irregularities and to penalize them if necessary.

7.3. A solver must write the solutions only on the sheet provided by the Director.

8. The solutions are to be written in algebraic notation in the following way:

a) in direct mate problems: all moves in all variations of full length which defend against the threat, in-cluding the threat if it is of full length, except the last move of Black and the mating move (i.e. in twomovers only the key; in threemovers all three-move variations, including the full length threat, up to the second white move, etc.);

b) in selfmate problems: all moves except the mating move in all variations of full length which defend against the threat, including the threat if it is of full length.

If there is no threat at all or an existing threat of full length is not written, all variations of full length are to be given.

c) in helpmate problems: all moves;d) in studies: all moves up to an obvious win or draw.

9.1. In helpmate(s) for which more than one single solu-tion is indicated the solver has to give all requested single solutions for a complete solution. In all other problems and studies only one solution is to be given.

9.2. If a solver believes he has found a cook, he may give it instead of the solution. In this case, he has to give the complete moves of the cook according to

point 8. The correct and complete solution or cook of a problem scores 5 points.

9.3. An incomplete solution scores fewer points. Incor-rect or incomplete variations or single solutions score 0 (zero) points. If more than the required number of solutions for a particular problem is written, it is enough that one of the solutions is in-correct for the solver to score 0 (zero) points for this problem. If more than one continuation following a defence (or more than one threat) is written, it is enough that one of them is incorrect for the solver to score 0 (zero) points for this variation (threat).

9.4. The Director must determine the distribution of points for a solution (i.e. for different variations, moves or single solutions) before the tournament starts. For a helpmate(s) with more than one solution the distribution of points should be indicated on the solving sheet.

9.5. If a problem has no solution, 0 (zero) points are awarded for this problem and all solvers get the full time score in this round.

9.6. Retro problems and problems with fairy conditions (see 6.3.) are treated like problems with no solution. A problem with an illegal position is treated like one with a legal position.

9.7. If a move is written incorrectly, unclear or ambigu-ously, this variation or single solution is regarded as incorrect. If, however, the Director (or the jury, pt 13.5) is sure that the correct move was intended, this variation or single solution must be regarded as correct.

10.1. During the solving a solver may leave the solving room only with a permission of the Director and accompanied by a controller.

10.2. When a solver hands over the solving sheet a con-troller immediately writes the elapsed time on the solver's solving sheet. Elapsed time is rounded up in minutes (i.e. when the last minute starts solvers get full time). After handing the solving sheet, the solver has no right to make any change to the solu-tions. He should leave the room and may not return until the round is ended.

10.3. The Director announces 10 minutes left and the last

minute in each round. After the announcement of the last minute all solvers remain sitting to the end of the round. When the end is declared they stop writing and wait until the controllers collect all the solving sheets.

11.1. For the team result in each round, the scores of the two (three at ECSC) best solvers of a team for this round are taken in consideration. The points of all

Version 5 22.WCSC, ECSC rules

WCSC, ECSC

rounds will be totalled, as well as the respective solving time (in minutes). At ECSC for a team with only two members the result of the third member is 0 (zero) points and full time in all rounds.

11.2. For the individual score, the points a solver achieves in the different rounds will be totalled, as well as the solving time.

11.3. A solver with 0 (zero) points in a round scores the full time for this round.

11.4. The number of points determines the ranking. In the event of a tie on points, the solver or team with the shorter total solving time will be ranked higher.

12.1. Participants must be informed of the official solu-tions with a distribution of points of a round im-mediately after the end of that round. The results of the rounds must be announced in written form as soon as possible.

12.2. If a problem has proved to be incorrect (cooks, duals, no solution) this must be announced as soon as possible including the respective distribution of points.

13.1. The Director has to publish his reports daily as soon as possible. Report after 10 pm is treated like at 8 am (on the following day). He should announce in advance when the report is to be published.

13.2. Protests against any announcement must reach the Director in written form not later than one hour after this announcement. He is allowed to accept protests out of time. If the Director cannot be found, a protest should be handed to any of his assistants or a protest remark is to be made on the announcement board. Protests have to be given by the team-leaders or by an individual solver.

13.3. The Director's task is to deal with such protests and to settle disputes. His decision, along with his argument, is to be given in written form. He has to ensure that a solution given by a solver only can be

seen by this solver himself, or by the leader or other members of his team.

13.4. Objections to any decision by the Director must be made in writing and must reach the Director within one hour of the announcement of the decision.

13.5. Such objections shall be dealt with by a jury con-sisting of three neutral persons nominated by the WFCC or by the team-leaders. The majority deci-sion of the jury (in written form with the argument) is final.

14. These Rules should be published on the official an-nouncement board at least 24 hours before the start of the first round as well as a Director's timetable for the complete tournament (registration, start of the rounds, preliminary results, timetable for protests, final results, prize giving, etc.).

This version of the Rules was accepted at the WFCC Congress in Crete 2010.

Recommendations /explanations of the WFCC:

Ad. 4.3. If a country is represented with only two solvers at the ECSC they can decide if they compete as a team. (Crete 2010)

Ad 6.2. Studies with just one line and a clear conclusion are preferable. (Moscow 2003)Helpmates: Multiple solutions are preferable to twins. Some thematic relationship between the single solutions, and a reasonable number of single solutions altogether in a round (max. seven), are recommended. (Halkidiki 2004)

Ad. 9.4. It is recommended that only the key move (except in direct twomovers) doesn't score, and that variations in one problem should be of equal worth. Points in studies should be given only for white moves. (Crete 2010)

Ad. 9.7. Judges can determine a possible correctness of such moves by following the further effect(s) of written move(s) or by the presence/absence of signs for capture, check, mate etc. normally used by a solver. (Crete 2010)

CODEX

1 In some cases, it may not be necessary to give a position, for example in case of certain mathematical chess compositions or of reconstructional problems. 2 In some cases, a chess composition may have more than one position or stipulation (twins). 3 The use of a computer does not result in an authorship of the computer. Nor does the compilation or publication of a computer generated database constitute the publication of one or more chess compositions.4 Examples of exceptional cases are retroanalytical or mathematical compositions. 5 Virtual play may include set play, try play etc. 6 In some types, for example in helpmates, the set play is part of the author's solution. 7 Formal aspects may include for example special patterns of moves, symbolic positions, miniature form etc. 8 Articles 5 to 7 are not intended to be exhaustive. Other classifications are possible and also practised, for example according to the material used (miniature, minimal, Meredith etc.) or according to other criteria. 9 According to this classification, examples of frequently used stipulations are:

(a1) White to move and force a win, without restriction to a specified number of moves (studies). (a2) White to move and force a draw, without restriction to a specified number of moves (studies). (b) White to move and mate the black king in a specified maximum number of moves (direct mate). (c) White to move and force Black to mate the white king in a specified number of moves (selfmate). (d) Black to move and cooperate with White in order to obtain a mate of the black king in a specified number of moves

(helpmate). 10 Further groups are, for example, stalemate or series stipulations etc.

Introduction

This codex deals with general principles of chess com-position activities such as composition, solving and publication. The codex is intended to be descriptive, rather than prescriptive, and it is also intended to offer constructive guidance in areas where there has been no central guidance before. It is not intended to be a body of established law which problemists must observe on pain of being condemned of heresy or worse; problemists are independent spirits, and it would be pointless for the PCCC to attempt to legislate in that way.

Part One is descriptive. It represents an updated attempt to articulate the most important features of the world of chess composition, as they are actually known and practised. It is a distillation of experience rather than a statute. The same applies to Chapter VII, which treats of tournaments for the first time.

The whole of Part Two, which deals with the public aspects of chess compositions, breaks new ground. Its first two Chapters (V and VI), which tackle the topics of publication and priority, are different in character from Part One. They cannot be called a distillation of experi-ence, because these are areas where there are no gener-ally accepted views, and no shared experience to distil. They represent to some extent a compromise between the interests of editors and composers, arrived at after a pains-taking discussion of alternatives. Although expressed as rules, these Chapters should be understood as guidance, which, it is hoped, can for the first time form the basis for coherent common practice in the future.

Annex II is explicitly a form of guidance, offering detailed guidelines for tournaments.

The subcommittee intends to keep the working of the codex under review and to take account of any criticism

and to recommend changes from time to time if they seem necessary.

Part One: The Chess Composition

Chapter I - General Principles

Article 1 - Independence Compositional Chess is an independent form of chess activity which consists of using features found in, or derived from, the game of chess as the material for the creation of artistic effects or constructional feats, in the form of chess compositions.

Article 2 - Chess Composition A chess composition consists usually of a position on the chess board 1, a stipulation in the form of words 2, and the solution. A chess composition is the result of an individual creative act of one or more authors 3 .

Article 3 - Solution of a Chess Composition The solution of a chess composition usually consists of one or more sequences of moves which satisfy the stipulation 4. The solution intended by the author is called author's solution.

Article 4 - Content of a Chess Composition In addition to the author's solution, the content of a chess composition may include virtual 5,6, play or formal aspects 7.

Chapter II - Types of Chess Composition 8

Article 5 - Classification according to Stipulations Chess compositions can be classified into several groups according to their stipulation. Besides the historically developed groups, viz studies, direct mates, selfmates and helpmates 9, further groups 10 have developed 11.

Version 5Codex

Codex

24.

Article 6 - Special Types Additionally, and independent from the classification ac-cording to Article 5, there are a number of special types, including:

(a) Retroanalytical chess compositions (b) Mathematical chess compositions (c) Constructional chess compositions.

Article 7 - Classification according to Rules Furthermore, chess compositions can be classified into those which apply the FIDE-rules of the game of chess 12 and those which apply modified rules 13,14.

Chapter III - Soundness

Article 8 - Author's Solution Every chess composition must be capable of being solved only by the author's solution. Special features of the au-thor's solution (such as multiple solutions or setplay in helpplay problems) should be expressly stipulated.

Article 9 - CookA chess composition is called cooked if it has a solution that differs in its first move from the author's solution.

Article 10 - DualA dual is said to occur if, after the first move, there is more than one method of satisfying the stipulation. 14A

Article 11 - Short SolutionA short solution is a method of satisfying the stipulation in fewer moves than required. 14B

Article 12 - No Solution A chess composition is said to have no solution if there is no method of satisfying its stipulation.

11 Compositions other than studies are usually called problems.12 Presently, the rules for the game of chess as agreed during the FIDE-congress 1996 in Yerevan are valid. Relevant for composi-tional chess are Articles 1 to 5. 13 In this context, the terms orthodox, heterodox, fairy and exo are used. 14 Modifications of the FIDE-rules may for example consist in:

(a) Rules (conditions) on which the composition is based (for example maximummer, circe, seriesmover). (b) Pieces used in the composition (for example nightrider, grasshopper, chinese pieces). (c) Chess space on which the composition is based (for example chess board with 10x10 squares, cylindrical chess board, multi-dimensional chess boards).

14A In non-helpplay compositions alternative black moves are not normally considered duals but may be seen as artistic defects.14B A non-helpplay composition does not have a short solution if there is at least one line of play which needs the stipulated num-

ber of moves.15 The gravity of defects such as unintended duals (other than in helpplay problems) or unintended multiple refutations of tries is a matter for the judge.16 Such duals are normally tolerated also in other types of composition.16A The seriousness of a dual is a matter for the judge.17 Such a sequence of moves is called a proof game. 18 Retroanalysis does not apply to illegal positions, except for the purpose of determining that they are illegal. It also does not apply to fairy compositions unless it is essential to the content of the composition. 19 For the purpose of Article 9, the preliminary move by the unconventional party is not counted, except in helpplay problems. The number of moves to be expressed in the stipulation should be the number of moves to be made by White. 20 In determining the permissibility of these features, account must be taken of which party is to move first.

Article 13 - Unsound Chess Compositions(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), a composition is unsound if it is cooked or has a short solution or no solution 15.

(2) Helpplay compositions are unsound also if they are dualized, except that in the final move a promotion into different pieces having partially the same power (for example queen/rook or queen/bishop) may be tolerated 16.

(3) Studies are unsound if there is a method of fulfilling the stipulation which is different from the author's solu-tion , and may akso be rendered unsound by serious 16A duals in the main line, but even in the main line many kinds of duals are normally tolerated.

Chapter IV - Miscellaneous Conventions

Article 14 - Legality of Positions (1) A position is legal if it can be reached by a sequence of moves from the initial array 17. Otherwise, the position is called illegal 18.

(2) In studies and problems that apply the FIDE-rules, illegal positions are not acceptable for composition tour-naments unless the tournament conditions so stipulate.

Article 15 - First Move If the first move does not lie with the conventional party (examples see Footnote 9), this should either be indicated in the stipulation or deducible from retroanalysis 19.

Article 16 - Castling and En-passant capture (1) Castling convention. Castling is permitted unless it can be proved that it is not permissible.

(2) En-passant convention. An en-passant capture on the first move is permitted only if it can be proved that the last move was the double step of the pawn which is to be captured 20.

Version 5Codex

Codex

25.

(3) Partial Retrograde Analysis (PRA) convention. Where the rights to castle and/or to capture en-passant are mutu-ally dependent, the solution consists of several mutually exclusive parts. All possible combinations of move rights, taking into account the castling convention and the en-passant convention, form these mutually dependent parts. If in the case of mutual dependency of castling rights a solution is not possible according to the PRA conven-tion, then the Retro-Strategy (RS) convention should be applied: whichever castling is executed first is deemed to be permissible.

(4) Other conventions should be expressly stipulated, for example if in the course of the solution an en-passant capture has to be legalised by subsequent castling (a posteriori convention AP).

Article 17 - 50 Moves-Rule Unless expressly stipulated, the 50 moves-rule does not apply to the solution of chess compositions except for retro-problems.

Article 18 - Repetition of Position A position is considered as a draw if it can be proved that an identical position 21 has occured three times in the proof game combined with the solution.

Part Two: The Chess Composition and the Public

Chapter V - Publication

Article 19 - Effect of Publication Upon first publication of a chess composition, the author acquires the right to claim priority for it, and a priority date is assigned to it (Article 22).

Article 20 - Definition of Publication (1) Publication of a chess composition consists of com-municating it to the public, whether in permanent form (e.g. a document or a recording medium) or transient form (e.g. on a demonstration board or through an electronic medium).

(2) For the purposes of this Article, "communicating to the public" means enabling an unrestricted number of people to have the opportunity of access to a chess composition by

(a) presenting it in permanent form, or (b) showing or using it in a lecture or solving tour-nament which falls within the categories listed in Annex I, or

21 Identical position means the same kinds of pieces on the same squares with the same move rights. 22 Including the Internet and electronic mailing lists, but not e-mail. 23 If the source is unknown this should be indicated. 24 The year of publication is considered to be more important than the period covered by the tourney 25 Set play may also be indicated in other types of problems. 26 Not necessarily at the same time as the original publication. 27 The actual date of a journal is the date on which it is published, whatever the date on its cover.

(c) showing it in transient form through a generally accessible medium (e.g. an electronic network) 22.

(3) A chess composition which is first published according to paragraph (2) (b) above is entitled to priority from the date of that publication and is also eligible to compete in any composing tournament within the next two years.

Article 21 - Form of Publication The publication of a chess composition should generally show its position in diagram form. In addition, the fol-lowing features should be indicated:

(a) Name of the author(s). (b) In case of first publication indication of this fact (e. g. "original"). (c) In case of reprints, the following particulars of the source of the first publication as exactly as possible 23: (c1) name and date of publication; (c2) if appropriate, indication that the version differs from the original publication ("correction", "version", "v").(d) Tournament distinctions 24. (e) The stipulation in words (examples see footnote 9) or, preferably, in usual abbreviations, and including the following particulars:

(e1) setplay, if any, in helpplay problems 25; (e2) change(s) from the diagram position in case of twin compositions; (e3) the number of solutions, if more than one; (e4) variations in helpplay problems, (e. g. numeri-cally by 1.2.1.1).

(f) All fairy chess elements, if appropriate. (g) Tries may be indicated (e. g. by use of "v"). (h) Author's solution(s) 26.

Chapter VI - Priority

Article 22 - Definition of Priority (1) The priority of a chess composition is determined by its priority date.

(2) The priority date of a chess composition is

(a) the actual date of its first publication 27, or (b) if it is first published in the award of a formal tourna-ment, the closing date of that tournament.

(3) Whether a chess composition is younger or older than another one is ascertained by comparison of the priority dates of both compositions.

Version 5Codex

Codex

26.

Article 23 - Priority of an Unsound Chess Composition (1) If a published chess composition is found to be un-sound 28, it loses its priority date unless a correction is published within three years after the publication of the unsoundness.

(2) The author of a chess composition which has been published in unsound form retains the following rights:

(a) The right to correct the composition himself, and (b) The right of being cited as author if a correction is made by someone else 29.

Article 24 - Anticipation (1) A chess composition is anticipated if there is an identical composition which has an earlier priority date. The anticipated chess composition is not eligible for any award 30.

(2) Chess compositions which are partly anticipated are eligible for awards: their merit is a matter for the judge, who should take account of the degree of anticipation.

(3) A second version of a correct chess composition pub-lished in an informal tournament, if published in the same tournament by the same author, is not considered to be partially anticipated by the original version.

Chapter VII - Tournaments

Article 25 - Categories of Tournaments One of the activities of composition chess is the conduct of tournaments for composing and solving 31.

Article 26 - Composing Tournaments Composing tournaments require a director, to whom all competing chess compositions are to be submitted, and at least one judge 32 who makes the award or selection. Guidelines for the organisation of composing tournaments are set out in Part 1 of Annex II.

Composing tournaments fall into the following categories:

(a) primary, i.e. for chess compositions which have not previously been published, except under Article 20 (2) (b), and primary tournaments may be:

(i) informal, i.e. where the competing compositions are published before they are judged, or (ii) formal, i.e. where the competing compositions are

28 The author alone is responsible for the soundness. 29 It is recommended that a correction made by someone else ("B") should, if practicable, be published in agreement with the aut-hor ("A"). B's name may also be mentioned. The following formulae are used (in order of increasing originality of the correction - which is a matter of personal evaluation): "A, correction"; "A, correction B"; "B after A". The correction should be published as a joint composition only if A agrees. This note also applies to improved versions of correct chess compositions. 30 In case of a claim of priority on the basis of a publication in transient form (Article 20 (1) and (2) (b), (c)), the burden of proof that such publication has actually taken place is on the claimant. 31 Not all tournaments clearly fall into one of these two categories (e.g. reconstruction tournaments (synthetics)). 32 The director and the judge are not necessarily different persons. 33 In a formal tournament, corrections or versions of participating chess compositions are not admitted after the closing date unless the announcement so provides.

not published before they are judged 33;

(b) secondary, i.e. for chess compositions which have already been published and may already have competed in a primary tournament (e.g. a national championship).

Article 27 - Solving Tournaments Solving tournaments are organised by venue (at a single time and place) or by correspondence. Their rules are laid down by the organising body or person, and they are controlled by a director. Guidelines for their conduct are set out in Part 2 of Anex II. In principle:

(a) In a tournament organized by venue all participants attend at the appointed time and place, and must solve without any technical assistance other than a chess set.

(b) In an correspondence tournament (e.g. one organised by a magazine) the participants send solutions to the director within a specified time limit.

(c) In all cases the solutions should be evaluated accord-ing to a prearranged scheme, which has been made known to the participants.

ANNEX I

Public Lectures and Solving Tournaments (Article 20 (2) (b))

Events are considered public only if they fall within one of the following categories:

(1) A public lecture given during

(i) a meeting of the WFCC; (ii) a competition organized by FIDE; (iii) a meeting of a national problem chess organiza-tion, provided that the country is a member of the WFCC and that the meeting has been publicly an-nounced in advance by the respective organisation; (iv) any other meeting which has been publicly an-nounced in advance as public by the national problem chess organization of the country concerned.

(2) Solving tournaments:

(i) the world chess solving championship (WCSC) and the European chess solving championship

(ECSC) organized by the WFCC; (ii) a national solving championship; (iii) an open solving tournament organized during a meeting mentioned in section (1) above.

ANNEX II

Guidelines for the Organization of Tournaments

Part I. Composition Tournaments

1 Announcement of a Composing Tournament A primary composing tournament for original chess compositions starts with the announcement which should include the following features:

(a) the organizer (e.g. magazine, organization); (b) the types of admitted chess compositions (e.g. mate in 2, mate in 3, helpmates); (c) indication of special conditions affecting composi-tion (e.g. theme; restricted force; if illegal positions are to be admitted in a tournament applying FIDE rules, this should be stated); (d) indication of any additional requirements (e.g. re-striction in the admissible number of compositions per author); (e) the address of the tournament director to whom the entries are to be sent; (f) the closing date, if appropriate; (g) the name of the judge; (h) in case of formal tournaments, whether it is intended that compositions which are not honoured in the award will be published without further notification to the composers.

2 Functions of the Director

The normal functions of the director are as follows:

(a) in a formal tournament:

(i) to receive the competing chess compositions and make any alterations or corrections submitted by the author before the closing date; (ii) to eliminate compositions which are obviously ineligible 34; (iii) to transcribe the eligible problems into anony-mous form, if necessary, and to send them with full solutions to the judge; (iv) to notify the judge of any unusual conditions or restrictions applicable to the tournament or his award (e.g. a restriction of the number of prizes);

34 The director may also test the competing compositions for unsoundness. As the author alone is responsible for the soundness (see footnote 29), such testing should be considered merely as an attempt to avoid claims of unsoundness after publication of the award but not as a service on which the composers can rely. 35 The judge will be concerned with questions requiring aesthetic judgement (e.g. the effect of partial anticipation); factual questi-ons (e.g. the date of priority of an anticipating composition) should be determined by the director. 36 In case of doubt, the director decides in which informal tournament a corrected chess composition participates. 37 All information should be given on one side of a sheet. A separate sheet should be used for each entry.

(v) to receive and publish the judge's award and to en-sure that every competing composer receives a copy; (vi) to receive any objections made within the period allowed, and to transmit to the judge any which need to be adjudicated by him 35; (vii) to receive and publish any consequential adjust-ment of the award made by the judge, and to notify any composer affected.

(b) in an informal tournament:

(i) to notify the judge of all eligible compositions 36, of all alterations and corrections to be considered; (ii) otherwise to proceed as in (iv) to (vii) above.

3 Functions of the Judge

Subject to special conditions or restrictions applicable to the tournament, the normal functions of the judge are as follows:

(a) to satisfy himself that he knows the final form of every eligible composition (i.e. the form incorporating any alteration or correction made by the composer before the closing date); (b) to eliminate all compositions which do not conform to any set theme or other requirements of the tournament; (c) to consider all eligible compositions in their final form; (d) to decide which of the eligible compositons are in his judgment of sufficient aesthetic merit to be honoured; (e) to satisfy himself, as far as he can, that no composi-tion which he wishes to honour is anticipated, and to take account of any partial anticipation known to him; (f) to prepare an award ranking the honoured composi-tions in order of merit according to his judgment, and normally dividing them into grades as prizewinners, honorable mentions and commendations (placing as many in each grade as he thinks fit), and adding such comments as he considers appropriate; (g) to submit his award to the director within a reason-able time; (h) to consider any objections to his award transmitted to him by the director, and to notify the director promptly of his adjudication of them, including any consequential adjustment of his award.

4 Form of Entries

Entries for composing tournaments should meet the for-mal requirements according to Article 21 and indicate the name of the tournament and the author's address. Themati-cal or theoretical remarks may be added 37.

Version 5Codex

Codex

28.

5 The Award

(a) The award must be published and it should be sent to all participating composers and the judge within a reasonable time after publication (normally within three months).

(b) Within a period which should be announced in the award (normally three months from the date of publi-cation of the award), any person may raise objections against the award with the director. The objections must be based on unsoundness or anticipation of an honoured chess composition. The relevant facts or evidence (e.g. cooks or anticipating compositions) must be indicated.

(c) If no objection has been made within that period, the award becomes final. If an objection has been made, the part of the award that is not affected by it becomes final, apart from possible changes in the ranking of the honoured chess compositions as a result of the objection.

6 Miscellaneous

(a) A detailed announcement of informal tournaments which are organized periodically by chess magazines (e.g. annual tournaments) is not necessary.

(b) Chess compositions which have not been published during one tournament period may be transferred to the subsequent informal tournament by the director without informing the author, provided the author has not specifi-cally objected to this.

(c) The director (e.g. editor of a chess magazine or col-umn) is not obliged to publish all compositions entered for an informal tournament.

(d) The author should be provided with evidence of the publication of his chess composition within a reasonable time after publication.

(e) An author who, within a period of 18 months from sending a chess composition to the director of an informal tournament, has neither received evidence 38 of publica-tion nor any other information concerning his composition may assume free disposal of his composition and may send it to another composing tournament 39.

Part II. Solving Tournaments

Solving tournaments may be organised under various conditions as defined by the organizer of a particular tournament. To show, by way of example, how a solving tournament organised by venue might be organised, the following Rules, which are an excerpt from the Rules for the World (European) Championship in Solving of Chess Problems (WCSC/ECSC), are given.

38 Such evidence may be the complete issue or a clipping of a magazine or, at least, a photocopy of the relevant page. 39 Nevertheless, if the earlier submission results in publication, the first publication in time has priority in accordance with Article 22.

1 The WCSC (ECSC) consists of 6 rounds over two days, with 3 rounds each day according to the following table: Round 1 3 twomovers 20 minutes solving time Round 2 3 threemovers 60 minutes solving time Round 3 3 endgames 100 minutes solving time Round 4 3 helpmates 50 minutes solving time Round 5 3 moremovers 80 minutes solving time Round 6 3 selfmates 50 minutes solving time

Round 4 and Round 6 may be exchanged. The breaks between rounds are at least 15 minutes.

2 The problems to be solved should be originals, or, al-ternatively, little known published problems, preferably modified.

3 The selected problems should show a clear theme and a good level of quality and difficulty. It is recommended that in every round, the three problems should represent different styles.

4 Fairy conditions and retro problems are not allowed. The positions should be legal. All problems should have only one solution, except in the helpmate round when more single solutions are specified. The problems should be computer tested as far as possible.

5 The problems to be solved should be presented on printed diagrams.

6 A solver may use the chess board(s) and men made available by the organiser, or his own set(s). The use of all electronic or technological aids which can help in solving is forbidden as well as any other kind of unfair behaviour. The Director's rights and duties are to prevent any irregularities and to penalize them if necessary.

7 The solutions are to be written in algebraic notation in the following way:

a) in direct mate problems: all moves in all varia-tions of full length which defend against the threat, including the threat if it is of full length, except the last move of Black and the mating move (i.e. in two-movers only the key; in threemovers all three-move variations, including the full length threat, up to the second white move, etc.);b) in selfmate problems: all moves except the mat-ing move in all variations of full length which defend against the threat, including the threat if it is of full length.

If there is no threat at all or an existing threat of full length is not written, all variations of full length are to be given.

c) in helpmate problems: all moves; d) in endgames: all moves up to an obvious win or draw.

Version 5Codex

Codex

29.

8 In helpmate(s) for which more than one single solution is indicated the solver has to give all requested single solutions for a complete solution. In all other problems and studies only one solution is to be given.

9 If a solver believes he has found a cook, he may give it instead of the solution. In this case, he has to give the complete moves of the cook according to point 7. The correct and complete solution or cook of a problem scores 5 points.

An incomplete solution scores fewer points. Incorrect or incomplete variations or single solutions score 0 (zero) points. If more than the required number of solutions for a particular problem is written, it is enough that one of the solutions is incorrect for the solver to score 0 (zero) points for this problem. If more than one continuation following a defence (or more than one threat) is written, it is enough that one of them is incorrect for the solver to score 0 (zero) points for this variation (threat).

The Director must determine the distribution of points for a solution (i.e. for different variations, moves or single solutions) before the tournament starts. For a helpmate(s) with more than one solution the distribution of points should be indicated on the solving sheet.

10 If a move is written incorrectly, unclear or ambigu-ously, this variation or single solution is regarded as incorrect. If, however, the Director (or the jury, pt 15) is sure that the correct move was intended, this variation or single solution must be regarded as correct.

11 For the score, the points a solver achieves in the dif-ferent rounds will be totalled, as well as the solving time. A solver with 0 points in a round scores the full time for this round.

The number of points determines the ranking. In the event of a tie on points, the solver or team with the shorter total solving time will be ranked higher.

12 Participants must be informed of the official solutions with a distribution of points of a round immediately after the end of that round. The results of the rounds must be announced in written form as soon as possible.

13 If a problem has proved to be incorrect (cooks, duals, no solution) this must be announced as soon as possible including the respective distribution of points.

14 Protests against any anouncement must reach the Di-rector in written form not later than one hour after the an-nouncement. He is allowed to accept protests out of time.

15 It is the Director's task to deal with such protests and to settle disputes. He has to secure that a solution given by a solver can be seen only by this solver himself or by the leader or other members of his team.

Objections to any decision by the Director must be made in writing and must reach the Director within 1 hour of the announcement of the decision. Such objections shall be dealt with by a jury consisting of three neutral persons nominated by the WFCC or by the team-leaders. The majority decision of the jury (in written form with the argument) is final.

Version 5 30.

The purpose of the Guidelines is to assist intending or-ganisers ('directors') of formal international tourneys for original endgame studies. Such tourneys are prestigious and should be conducted to a high standard. Guidelines are never obligatory, but since these are based on a large corpus of experience, a tourney organiser departing from them needs good reasons for so doing. The Guidelines will also be of value to organisers of tourneys of more restricted scope and prestige than formal international tourneys. The Guidelines address the activities and re-sponsibilities of the competing composer and the tourney judge only insofar as they affect the organiser.

The ten major activities/events are listed in chronologi-cal order

II Detail

1. PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT

1.1 Selection of: 1.1.1 Publication (journal, magazine, newspaper column) 1.1.2 The name by which the tourney will be known 1.1.3 Tourney director (administrator, address of entries, estimate of expenses) 1.1.4 Neutraliser (may also be the director) 1.1.5 Judge(s):

1.1.5.1 One judge is normal. At least one judge shall hold the FIDE title of International Judge (for studies). The FIDE judge should be active and should come from outside the organising country 1.1.5.2 The FIDE judge should be asked to clarify whether he will assume responsibility for the analytical testing of all entries, or only of honoured entries, or of no entries 1.1.5.3 The FIDE judge should be asked to provide a written undertaking to keep to a provisional time scale in accordance with these guidelines.

1.1.6 Analytical tester (a very strong player or analyst) to assist the judge(s), if appropriate 1.1.7 Anticipations identification procedure or system. Examples: the Harman system, Chess-Base, or 'responsibility of the judge(s)' 1.1.8 Sponsor (if any, to lend name and to provide prizes and funds).

1.2 Funding to cover: 1.2.1 Remunerations (if any), of judge, tester, anticipations consultant, director, translator, neu-traliser. (If possible, remuneration should be clear to all parties prior to A-day) 1.2.2 Printing (especially of the preliminary and final award, including, if appropriate, separate brochure(s)) 1.2.3 Postage and telephone usage (publicity, acknowledgements, returns, awards distribution, incidental correspondence) 1.2.4 Prizes. Prizes for a major tourney should not be trivial, but Honourable Mentions and Com-mendations do not require prizes.

1.3 Determination of time scale, that is, approximate dates of announcement, closing date, and publication of preliminary and definitive awards. 1.4 Conditions, etc. If a prospective competitor wishes to learn the full set of conditions before entering, or if the director feels it is desirable, the text of the condi-tions (based on these guidelines) should be prepared in a form to be distributed on request. [Note. Translation and wide publication ought in due course to enable reference to be made simply to 'the FIDE guidelines'.]

2. THE ANNOUNCEMENT should include

2.1 Type of tourney: international, formal. 2.2 Genre: original (unpublished) endgame studies to win or to draw. 2.3 Language limitations (if any, but preferably none). 2.4 The composer to supply:

2.4.1 Name, nationality and address 2.4.2 Number of copies of diagram and full solu-tion required 2.4.3 Text of the solution and notes should pref-erably be typed or printed by computer, but no decipherable entry will be rejected 2.4.5 The diagram position should be accompa-nied by a control in notation 2.4.6 The name of the event (name of tourney) should appear above the diagram.

2.5 The complete postal address for entries. 2.6 The closing date (post mark). To ensure the widest participation the closing date for a formal internation-al tourney should be estimated at nine months after the geographically remotest receipt of the announcement by surface mail distribution (see Summary - 5). 2.7 The name and nationality of the FIDE judge or judges. 2.8 Details of prizes:

2.8.1 The number and value of the prizes, number

Version 5 31.

of honourable mentions and number of commen-dations 2.8.2 The division of honours into the three cat-egories of Prizes, Honourable Mentions and Com-mendations is conventional and recommended.

2.9 Anticipated date and place of publication of the provisional award. 2.10 Other details:

2.10.1 Limit of number of entries by one composer (whether individually or in conjunction with one or more other composers). Typical restrictions: one, two or three 2.10.2 Whether twins are allowed or not. Twins are difficult to compare with non-twins. The judge(s) should be consulted 2.10.3 Whether a special section award might be made for reasons other than strict judging criteria. (Sample reasons for a special section: miniatures; new settings of known ideas; bizarre positions; importance for endgame theory. See also 2.10.4) 2.10.4 Set theme. In general, a formal international tourney should be 'free theme', that is, without a set theme. Set themes may be appropriate to a tourney honouring a composer, a style, or an event, but they do constitute a constraint on creativity 2.10.5 Unless otherwise explicitly stated in the announcement, ownership of an entry remains with the composer, with only the right to first publication of honoured entries transferred to the director/sponsor.

3. PUBLICITY

3.1 The announcement (which can clearly be ab-breviated) should be sent to as many national and international chess magazines as possible, and as soon as possible, since the indirect reproduction and distribution may take three or four months. 3.2 Other outlets to be considered:

3.2.1 Magazines and newspapers with chess columns 3.2.2 National chess federations 3.2.3 Radio 3.2.4 Television 3.2.5 Teletext 3.2.6 Electronic mail.

3.3 Where appropriate the announcement details should be translated.

4. ENTRIES

4.1 Every composition entered should be on a separate stamped diagram with these indications:

4.1.1 Complete name and address of the author 4.1.2 Name of the tourney 4.1.3 Indication that it is an unpublished original 4.1.4 The stipulation 4.1.5 Notation control of the position 4.1.6 The complete solution (including set plays (if any), refutations of tries, demonstration of claimed reciprocal zugzwang, etc.) written on one

side of a sheet or sheets of paper, which should be neither too small nor too large. DIN A5 or DIN A4 or foolscap are satisfactory paper sizes 4.1.7 Dedication, if any.

4.2 Other requirements: 4.2.1 The following, though often desirable, must be considered optional. They could be included as a check-list with any communication sent to actual or prospective competitors, for instance, even on an 'application form' supplied by the organiser 4.2.2 Theme(s) or idea(s) expressed, i.e., the com-poser's artistic intention 4.2.3 References to endgame theory (ie volume number and page of 'Averbakh' or 'Chÿearon' or 'Fine' etc.) 4.2.4 Partial anticipation(s) known to the com-poser. The diagram, composer, source and main line solution should be provided. Alternatively, the signed statement 'no anticipation known to the composer' should be made 4.2.5 Testing. The composer(s) alone is/are per-sonally responsible for the soundness of an entry. However, analytical assistance from an Elo-rated player or other competent analyst is often helpful. If such analytical help has been given, a statement to this effect may accompany the entry.

5. CLOSING DATE and acknowledgements

5.1 The post mark is definitive for closing date. (But post marks are not always decipherable. The director's judgement and discretion are final.) 5.2 The director has discretion to accept late entries and pronounces on genre validity. 5.3 The director is responsible for acknowledging receipt of entries. 5.4 The neutraliser:

5.4.1 The neutraliser prepares all valid entries, including the diagrams, in a uniform manner for presentation to the judge, who refers to studies only by a serial number. The recommended system of solution presentation is that in general use in the quarterly international magazine EG, where minimal use is made of parentheses and support-ing lines are laid out sequentially. 5.4.2 The neutraliser should also ensure that all moves are legal and unambiguous.

5.5 It is in principle desirable that a copy of all entries be checked for anticipations. If the number of entries is large this process may be deferred until later and restricted to candidates for the award. The same con-siderations apply to testing.

6. JUDGING

6.1 After C-day the judge may query a composer's analysis by asking the director to write to the com-poser. The composer replies to the director, who informs the judge. 6.2 Allowable corrections:

6.2.1 At most one correction per entry, with sup-

Study tourney guidelines

Version 5 32.

porting analysis, is allowed during the judging period. With this limitation, any correction is ac-ceptable, and for any reason. 6.2.2 A correction must relate to an entry properly received before C-day, and may be rejected by the director if the judge is ready with his award.

6.3 A composer may withdraw his entry or entries by writing to the director at any time before the judge's award is ready. The composer should give his reason(s), such as unsoundness, appearance in print elsewhere, decision not to enter. The request to withdraw a joint entry should be signed by all the entry's composers. 6.4 Prior to drawing up the provisional award, which is primarily the responsibility of the judge, all candidate entries for inclusion in the award must be tested as thoroughly as possible for anticipation and soundness. 6.5 By agreement of the judge(s) and director the award may depart from the announced numbers of prizes, honourable mentions and commendations. 6.6 If a judge cannot complete a judgement the direc-tor must find a replacement. The award should state the circumstances and name the replacement. In such circumstances the director should endeavour to follow these guidelines as closely as possible.

7. PROVISIONAL AWARD and return of unsuccess-ful entries

7.1 The printed award should carry the clear identifi-cation PROVISIONAL AWARD. 7.2 The provisional award is the joint work of judge(s) and director, whose names must be appended, to-gether with place (town) and date. 7.3 The judge provides the ranking list and division of prizes, honourable mentions and commendations, but if he wishes he may consult the director. This may be desirable if the number of prizes is to be changed from what was announced. 7.4 The director adds names, numbers and nationali-ties. 7.5 Either before or when the provisional award is published, and distributed to all contestants, unsuc-cessful entries are to be physically returned to their composers with at least a standard explanatory cover-ing note saying that the unsuccessful entry or entries is/are at the disposal of the composer. 7.6 The provisional award should be as compact as possible, should be published in the same publication as the initial announcement, and should not be spread over more than two successive issues (or columns) of the publication. 7.7 If the honoured studies are offered to solvers for solution, then confirmation time starts at the date of publication of the solution to the last study in the award. 7.8 The solutions should be as full and commented as possible: 7.8.1 If there is insufficient space to publish the full solutions to all honoured studies in the publication

(magazine, newspaper) a separate brochure, for which a charge may be made, should be published promptly. (It is suggested that a brochure for the provisional award should be produced cheaply, but for the defini-tive award the quality should be superior.) 7.8.2 Any such brochure should be sent to each com-petitor free of charge. 7.9 All comments on the award should be addressed in writing to the tourney director.

8. CONFIRMATION PERIOD

8.1 It is within the tourney director's discretion, acting in consultation with the judge(s), to allow one minor correction by the composer. 8.2 A permissible correction includes:

8.2.1 The displacement of a single chessman 8.2.2 The elimination of a first move 8.2.3 The addition/removal of a single pawn. 8.2.4 Board rotation and/or reflection in a position without pawns.

8.3 Other changes, such as a combination of the above, or shifting all men in one direction, are not minor. Such changes may be made if composer, judge and director all agree. The guideline is to exercise extreme caution in such cases because of the danger of inadequate testing of an altered position. 8.4 A change proposed by someone other than the composer requires the composer's explicit agreement.

9. DEFINITIVE AWARD

9.1 The printed award should carry the clear identi-fication DEFINITIVE AWARD and the full name of the tourney, including, if appropriate, the genre and associated year. As with the provisional award, the names of the judge(s) and director must be appended, with a date. 9.2 If a separate brochure is published it should con-tain the complete solutions and should be a quality product. 9.3 The definitive award should be distributed to all contestants as soon as possible. 9.4 The accomplished fact (of the distribution) should be immediately recorded in the publication.

10. PRIZES, and notifications

10.1 Prizes in accordance with the announcement are to be distributed simultaneously with the publication of the final award. 10.2 Any publication which publicises the tourney an-nouncement should be sent a copy of the final award with a request for further publicity, for instance by reproducing the winners. 10.3 For purposes of determining priority of idea the relevant date for an honoured study is the closing date for entries. This date should accompany the diagram in the reproduction.
