For ones who missed this cycle --> looking forward for next cycle (expected to be starting on early July 2024)

Swiss 45m+45 is to change the pace from the regular Swiss 90m+30s, as the respond to request from some members who can't afford to spend 3-4 hours to play 90m+30s game.

* We have been running the Swiss 90m+30s league for 8 cycles (seasons) since year 2022 continuously and consistently without any pause/ break.

Swiss 45m+45s tourney is the companion of the well established Swiss 90m+30s tourney

The hardest part for TD (Tournament Director) of this Swiss 45m+45s tourney

and the most fun and important feature for players is:

Considering players are from various countries/ continent, games are not scheduled to start at fixed same time for all player but instead it is played at agreed starting time as result of negotiation between 2 paired players within 10 days timeframe in any particular round.

This way the number of forfeited games is much smaller in this tailor made (semi-automated) Swiss tourney.

Finding peers to practice serious chess with classical time control online is not too easy -

I accommodated it by founding 90m+30s club since April 2022

*** As companion to successful Swiss 90m+30s and 45m+45s ***

The new Swiss tourney 60m+30s time control

with longer timeframe to negotiate and play the game (a month)

and with more numbers of round (Total 12 Rounds / 12 months / a year duration).

The duration of a 60m+30s game is about the same with 45m+30s, where the game can be as long as 2 - 3 hours if both sides used all time on the clock plus added increment.

Hopefully this not-tight-schedule (a month to negotiate & find time to play one game) will make it easy for anyone that has joined the currently running 45m+45s or 90m+30s tourney.
