@cfcSOM Because they've changed the tie-breaker rules for this World Cup. Instead of goal differential, the first tie-breaker is now head-to-head result. Since Turkiye lost to both Australia and Paraguay, it doesn't matter if they win vs the US and the AUS-PGY game has a decisive result.

@egnohc @pubity You can get up from the table and go to the restroom, but you're not allowed to leave the tournament hall.

@Selinnaria @pubity He had chosen a very risky opening and his opponent made a move that he didn't expect. It wasn't even part of his prep. As a result, he got stuck trying to figure out on the spot what his next move should be. There was literally only one move that wasn't losing, and he missed it.

@khalidoncrypto @pubity In chess, the time limit is for the overall game, not individual moves. The time control for this tournament is...x.com/CGerstle/statu…

@limitGlory @pubity @grok For the Candidates Tournament (the first phase of the World Chess Championship), the time control is 120 minutes to make your first 40 moves, after which 30 minutes are added back to your clock and you get 30 seconds added every time you finish a move.

@Grav9021 @pubity In classical chess, sometimes you'll reach an unusual position that takes a long to tease apart. But usually that "long time" is around 30-40 minutes, not over an hour.

@Ginox_Official @pubity As a chess player myself, can confirm. No game punishes mistakes quite like chess. And unlike other games, there's no hidden information, random draws/dice rolls, etc. If you make a mistake, you got no one to blame but yourself.

@0xTakeProfits @pubity @grok There are three categories of time limits for professional chess: classical, rapid, and blitz. Classical games typically last a few hours. Rapid games usually last 30-60 minutes. Blitz games are around 10 minutes.

@ugonabo @pubity In total, classical chess games can last several hours. At this tournament, typically 4-6 hours.

@ugonabo @pubity The time control of classical chess depends on the tournament, but at the Candidates Tournament (the first stage of the World Chess Championship), each player gets 120 minutes to make their first 40 moves, then they get 30 minutes of extra time plus 30 seconds of increment.
