GUIDE TO QUICKPLAY FINISHES
Introduction

1. A game with a quickplay finish is NOT the same as a lightning or allegro game, and certain rules are designed to prevent a player winning on time when the position on the board does not justify it.

2. The recommended time controls for league games completed under quickplay finish rules, and which are to be sent for grading are, an initial period of at least 1 hour per player, with a clock rate not faster than 2 minutes per move (e.g. 40 moves in at least 80 minutes; are 30 moves in one hour; etc.), followed by at least an extra 15 minutes per player.

(a) The move requirements must have been clearly stated before the match starts.

(b) (a) A copy of this guide must be available to players.


Note for the Guidance of Arbiters and Players

1. The purpose of the special rules is to endeavour to ensure that the player who, from the position on the board, and his demonstrated standard of play, would have been expected to win if the game had continued, or who by his play has shown that he can certainly draw from the position, does not lose by his flag falling in a quickplay finish (i.e. after the time control has been passed). A player who knows that he is clearly superior in position and/or material ought to be awarded a draw if he claims it. a player does not lose who, from the position on the board and his/her demonstrated standard of play, would be able to gain at least a draw had time considerations not played a critical role.

2. Both players must continue to record their moves until they have less than five minutes left.
3. A player may claim a draw when he has less than two minutes left on the clock and before his flag falls. The player claiming the draw should stop the clocks and consult the captains. This concludes the game. If either captain is still playing, this consultation can be delayed.
4. The player may claim a draw on the basis that (a) the opponent cannot win by normal means, or (b) the opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means. In (b) the player must write down the final position and submit an up-to-date scoresheet, which must be completed before play has ceased. The opponent shall verify both the scoresheet and the final position.
5. If both captains are satisfied that the opponent cannot win by normal means (which includes the case where the opponent with more time is very much behind on material), or that the opponent has been making no effort to win by normal means, then they may declare the game drawn. If they are not satisfied, they may declare the game lost.
7. The team captains' decision is not an adjudication. The decision process should involve only the players concerned and the team captains.
2. 8. In the majority of cases, players know perfectly well which player has a winning advantage, and there is no dispute if he claims a draw. The more difficult cases are those in which the material is more even, but the player claims that his opponent cannot win for positional reasons.

3. If, for example, white's flag has fallen, he has lost unless:
9. The reasons for awarding the draw include:
(a) The players agree a draw.
(b) White claims to the arbiter, who agrees:.

10. Election of Office Bearers

12. Close of meeting
