ACT v SA Telechess Match

ACT v SA Telechess Match
========================
By and large chess players are a fairly polite lot. Well behaved,
sensible, and generally courteous. At least club chess players.
But there is one thing guaranteed to turn a group of mild, calm,
intelligent players into a pack of baying, snarling, lunatics:
The Telechess Match.
And if you read on you will see how this transformation takes place.
For the last few years the Australian Chess Federation (ACF) has organised
an interstate series. Due to the distances needed to be travelled within
Australia the matches are played via telephone. The ACT had played
Western Australia last year and had lost 10-5. This wasn't a bad
result given the relative strengths of the 2 sides and we were
interested in how we would go this year.
In the first round ACT thought they were playing South Australia
and attempts were made to pick a team and organise a match. A date
was agreed upon and both teams got organised. Then the first problem
arose. The ACF released a draw that didn't include South Australia.
The ACF said they had forgotten to enter. This didn't deter the
ACT Chess Association. They ignored the ACF and went ahead with
the match anyway.
The second problem was team selection. The task of organising a team
fell to the ACTCA Secretary, Jenny Moylan. It was decided that
the team would be picked in rating order. Unfortunately the net
wasn't cast very wide and a number of players who would have got
in on rating were not contacted. In fact a number of players expressed
suprise when told a telechess match was on at all. After a number
of players who were overlooked complained to the ACTCA it was decided
that the team would consist of the 10 highest rated players who
turned up on the day. As this decision was made 2 days before the
match a number of players who hadn't been contacted assumed they
hadn't been picked and didn't turn up.
The third problem was one of venue. With a week to go this hadn't
been organised. Fortunately the newly formed ANU Chess Club was able
to provide a venue and facilities for conducting the match.
As the players assembled on the morning of the match a new and
major problem arose. To save time and costs the match was to
be held over the Internet. The South Australians even offered
to provide the chess server (ICON). There were a couple of
problems with this. ICON ran on the South Australian Education
Department's NEXUS computer network. This is a pay for use
server. The organisers at the SA end wanted to use the match
to publicise the ICON system. The drawback was that unless you
had a registered account on NEXUS you couldn't view the match.
But this was a minor quibble. The major problem was that the
ICON server kept kicking us off after 2 minutes of inactivity.
So if a player was having a long think, or waiting for a reply
from his opponent he was likely to be logged out. Some would
see this as a cost saving measure (hung terminal etc) but you
were only sent back to the NEXUS system where connection costs
were still being accrued. As I ruefully noted to the South
Australians, "This wouldn't have happened on the Free Internet
Chess Server (FICS)". So the planned for advertising benefit
of the match for South Australia didn't eventuate.
After much stuffing around the match finally started using
a straight messaging system between the ACT and SA. Although
slower than the phone it had the benefit of being cheaper.
The ACT team were very much the underdog in this match. We were
outrated by 130 points per board. Winning the match was an
unlikely occurance.
One of the problems with Telechess is the time taken to transmit
moves. The process is as follows. Player makes move and presses
clock. The runner for the board (if paying attention) would
write down the move and take the scoresheet to the operator.
The operator would transmit the move to the operator at the
other end. He would write down the move on a scoresheet and would
pass the move onto the runner (if paying attention) who would
take it to the board and play the move. This process would take
about 2 minutes per move. So even with the timelimit at 40 moves
in 80 minutes it would still take about 5 and a half hours
to reach the first time control. And thats if nothing went wrong.
The sitting round, doing nothing part of the match produces
a kind of mass hysteria in the team. Because you have nothing
to do you talk to other team mates, discuss games, and
complain about things. And when something goes wrong you
become suspicious.
Early on in the Board 3 game the SA played the wrong move on
their board. A few moves later WGM Daniella Nutu-Gajic took
a pawn that she thought was undefended, and it appeared so
on her board. In fact here in Canberra she had just blown
a piece. When the move Bf3xe4 was sent back to SA there was
probably some confusion. After it was sorted out the game was
restarted at the point were the SA error was made. Soon after
a player (NOT Board 3 by the way) came up to me and said: "Thats
not fair, she just blew a piece". "It was an honest mistake, they
played the wrong move three moves back" I replied. "Sure, sure.
How do we know she didn't really just drop a piece". This was
too much for me. "We are playing a team that outrates us by a
zillion points. Do you seriously think that the only way that
they can beat us is by cheating? Get real" And that ended that
conversation. However unfounded suspicions were still being
harboured by some of the more unstable members of out team.
Due to the delay in transmitting moves time scrambles became an
interesting sight. Even if you were in desperate time trouble you
would still have to wait 4-5 minutes between each move. This
meant that you had no sense of "flow" in the position. And checking
your opponents time also caused problems.
In the board 5 game both players got into time trouble at about
move 20. Times are exchanged every 10 moves but ocassionaly
players requested a time check on other occasions. This
eventually led to problems as the following shows
ACT: "Can we have a time check on board 5"
SA: No response
Moves from other games are relayed back and forth
Later
ACT: "Can we have a time check on board 5"
SA: Still no response
More moves are relayed, including moves for Board 5
Our Board 5 loses his temper and refuses to accept the
next SA move without a time check
ACT: "CAN WE HAVE A TIME CHECK ON BOARD 5"
SA: No response
Moves are still being sent back and forth. Suddenly
SA: "Time check on Board 5 please"
ACT: "Tell us your time first"
This gets misinterperated as a hostile response (Sort of like
The Prisoners Dillemma problem)
Civility between the operators goes downhill from here.
Later on another exchange occurs
ACT: "Time check on Board 13"
SA: "Board 13 refuses to exchange times"
I can just imagine the SA room. Fists being waved in the
air, shouts of "We'll show those bastards" etc etc
Later
SA: "Board 13 offers draw"
ACT: "Board 13 says 'GET BENT'"
Still later
SA: "Board 13 would like to exchange times"
ACT: "Board 13 suggests he can 'Stick his clock...'"
Finally
SA: "Board 13 loses on time. He thanks his opponent for a
hard fought game"
ACT: "Board 13 says Thanks"
Another big problem was that some games would stall. We would
send a move over that wouldn't be noticed at the other end.
This meant that SA were still waiting for a reply to
move X (which had been sent) while we were expecting move X+1.
Fortunately we had arranged a system in which we could see
which games had been waiting for a reply for quite a while.
However this system wasn't perfect.
ACT: "Board 10 X...Ke8-f7"
Later
SA: "What was last move for Board 10?"
ACT: "Board 10 X...Ke8-f7"
Later
SA: "Still waiting for move X on Board 10"
ACT: "Board 10 X...Ke8-f7 and claims a draw by 3 fold repetition"
The whole match lasted from 11:30 am until 7:45 pm. The result
was much as expected with South Australia winning 10.5-4.5.
On the whole the ACT team fought hard (although one player
resigned because he wanted to have dinner) and we scored 3-3 on
the top six boards.
Congratulations to South Australia and I just hope I don't get
lynched next time I visit the South Australian Chess Centre.
Thanks go to: Dr Jeff Wood as match referee, the ANU Computer
Science Department for providing the venue and equipment, the
