Other Tournament Rules
The tournament will be held on the lichess server and will be governed by their own conditions, which are available here.
When playing you are not allowed to use assistance from any other person, book or device.
Anybody who is flagged by lichess as being in breach of lichess’ terms will be removed from the tournament and will not be eligible for any prize. The organizers have no say in how lichess conduct their business, and if any player has any complaint it must be addressed to lichess and not to the organizers.
Unfortunately there is nothing that we can do if anybody loses a game due to internet failure or mouse-slips. Please note that take-backs are not allowed.
