Engine users and cheaters will most likely be banned and disqualified extremely quickly in the ACWC.

Does anyone organizing the tournament have an approximate date to start the ACWC on? School is starting tomorrow and I'd like to balance my time effectively.

Thx

@TheUnknownGuyReborn It is most likely going to start sometime this month on the 30th possibly. The only person who actually has a say of when the championship starts is the-lone-wolf, I assume it's starting sometime September 27th or 30th possibly. You can make an agreeable time with your opponent of the time you are available on.

x-posting from other thread my argument for a shorter TC...

"Although I personally like fast games, I agree it should be a longer time control so it is not just a competition of speed or memorization. However, 2+5 is also way too long! This is why I believe it should be something more in between like the already commonly used tournament TC's of 3+0 (Daily), 5+0 (Monthly), or 3+2 (Shield).

Unlike regular chess there tends to be an exponentially smaller number of moves to chose from and many more forced moves. Because of this anti has been solved for e3 (and many other openings) as a white win. With 2+5 I'd be more concerned about cheaters/players using engines.

Secondly, also unlike regular chess nobody (at least none of the regular or top rated players) ever plays anti with a time control this long. This makes ability in 2+5 essentially an irrelevant metric. Why not use a more popular time control to decide the world cup champion?

For these reasons I think 3+0, 3+2, or 5+0 (time controls which I already consider to be long), would be a much fairer compromise. You really don't need 2 minutes +5 seconds per turn in anti if you understand basic anti theory."
