2+2 Correspondence Championship (Chess.com)

OK, thanks. That was my guess, but I didn't want to time out on all my games and only then decide to ask :-)

I did not know that selecting a time for the tournament to "automatically start" was insufficient, lol. We are now underway!

Good luck everyone.

EDIT: Just a suggestion here, but would people mind posting their chess.com names? I recognize the obvious names, but I don't know who many people are. I realize some of them are in the other thread, but I don't think we have a master list so to speak.

Mine is Chaos81, same as on here.

[Ajezz]

20 players is a perfect number.

I wish my opponents interesting games and everyone else good luck! :-)

Noir_Desir, like here. OMG it rhymes...

Btw, do you guys actually like chess.com? Maybe it's because I'm so used to gameknot, but this site feels somewhat annoying, bulky and bubbly, where things aren't where I want them to be. I blame all of my future losses on the interface!

[Sholar]

OK, another dumb question from me. How exactly do the time controls work? Am I correct that this is Bronstein-style delay (initial time=0 days, delay=3 days)? (Compared to Fischer-style increment, which, for some reason, I thought was typical for correspondence chess.)

Sorry for asking these questions here, I can't seem to find answers to even basic stuff like this on chess.com.

[BobJoeJim]

I guess it's a Bronstein-style delay, though I never really thought of it in those terms. Whenever you move, your opponent then gets 3 days (72 hours) to make their move. Nothing cumulative adds up.

[Sholar]

That makes things very simple. Thanks for clarifying.
