Hi guys, it's Ryan! πππ
I have a message for the CFCC
I feel that one of my games had interference with a spectator and was handled incorrectly
Tim Just even has an explanation on how things should be handled
"You are the general of the black pieces. In time trouble you and your counterpart are banging on the game timer. Pieces are racing from one square to another. Some pieces are flying off the board. No one seems to have an advantage. An audience gathers around to watch the show. And then it happens: you blunder. Instantly, someone in the crowd yells out, “Take the Knight, it’s free!” The bystander is removed from the playing room. The knight capture is obvious. Your opponent grabs your errant stead. You are down a piece. A few moves later you lose. The game score is 1–0 in your opponent’s favor. You protest.
Your opponent had help, and that’s not fair. If the clear knight capture had been overlooked by your counterpart, the game was headed towards a draw. You point out that the bystander helped him find that move. The TD’s solution is a split results score: 1–½. Your opponent keeps their win. You get the half-point. Equity! "
I am not shaming anyone or being rude. Do not take it that way. I am just upset with the way that things were handled. And to punish myself for not pushing hard enough for a fair ruling (I paused the clock and got a TD but that was not enough π’), I will not be attending anymore of CFCC's events
And for clarification when Tim says take the knight, my situation had a different move. It was a check that the spectator found.
