Originally posted by vanderveldeI do this sometimes, but I had no idea Garry was copying me.
Some players have a custom to take their wrist watch before the game and lay it next to score sheet.
[hidden]Kasparov does it.[/hidden]
But I've always felt it looks awkward. Like he is an interrogator who is promising me I won't get away alive before he gets all the answers.
Hi vandervelde,
At the last years European Team Championship in Reykjavik something
happened and after two rounds watches were banned from the chess table.
At the 2015 Baku World Cup these were the anti cheating measures.
Random games will be transmitted online with a 15-minute delay,
so that players won't know in advance if their game will be live in real-time or not.
Each round there will be random security checks on five (random) players to see
if they're carrying electronics.
Besides phones, players are not allowed to bring pens and watches to the playing
hall (and will use pens provided by the organizers).
Like in previous FIDE events, players will go through an electronic checkpoint at the
entrance of the playing hall.
