Rules
The rapid time control will be game in 15 minutes with a 10 second increment. Each game is worth one point; a draw is worth 0.5 points. If one player gets 1.5 or more points, they win. If the match is tied after two games, we will move into overtime.
- Overtime 1: two games at 3/2 time control; 1.5 points wins
- Overtime 2: two games at 1/1 time control; 1.5 points wins
- Overtime 3: two games a 1/0 time control; 1.5 points wins. Repeat overtime 3 format until a winner is decided.
Scouting report
Junda is a heckuva writer, which makes me glad this isn’t a writing competition. Unrated by the United States Chess Federation, he comes into this as a bit of an unknown.
Junda’s twitter bio reads: “Covering LSU and the New Orleans Pelicans for SB Nation. Covering the Titans for USA Today’s SMG. Proud lefty. Ain’t no thing like me ‘cept me”
We can deduce a couple things from this. He is either ideologically liberal, or he moves his chess pieces primarily with his left hand. Neither of these help us out. Whelp.
Also, it’s a little hard to relate to Junda:
