DESCRIPTION:   'Title: DEF CON 30 Chess Tournament - Mandatory Sign-up\n   
 When: Saturday\, Aug 13\, 15:00 - 15:30 PDT\n   Where: Caesars Forum - For
 um 133 (Karaoke/Chess) - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n   ** If you wish to c
 ompete in the Chess Tournament\, you must register\n   Saturday between 15
 :00 and 15:30. **\n\n   Chess\, computers\, and hacking go way back. In th
 e 18th century\, the\n   Mechanical Turk appeared to play a good game\, bu
 t there was a human\n   ghost hiding in the shell. Some of the first compu
 ter software was\n   written to play chess. In 1997\, world champion Garry
  Kasparov lost to\n   the program Deep Blue\, but after the match he accus
 ed IBM of cheating\,\n   alleging that only a rival grandmaster could have
  made certain moves.\n\n   At DEF CON 30\, we propose to host a human ches
 s tournament. The games\n   will have a “blitz” time control of 5 minu
 tes on each player’s\n   clock\, for a maximum total game time of 10 min
 utes. The tournament\n   will have a Swiss-system format\, with a fixed nu
 mber of rounds. The\n   match pairing for each round is done after the pre
 vious round has\n   ended\, and depends on its results. Each player is pai
 red with another\n   player who has a similar running score.\n\n   To dete
 rmine the winner\, the Swiss system is considered highly\n   effective\, e
 ven when there is a large number of competitors and a\n   small number of 
 rounds. Every player gets to play the full tournament\,\n   and the winner
  has the highest aggregate score when all rounds are\n   over.\n\n   We’
 ll also have a top computer chess program on hand. There will be\n   prize
 s for the winners of the tournament\, as well as anyone who can\n   beat t
 he machine.\n\n   The tournament mechanics will be managed by the Las Vega
 s Chess Center\n   (LVCC)\, which has over five years of experience in org
 anizing royal\n   game tournaments for all strength levels and ages. LVCC 
 has\n   professional coaches\, and grandmasters are frequent visitors.\n\n
    Does your contest or event plan to have a pre-qualifier?\n\n   To help 
 crown the best chess player at DEF CON 30\, we will register\n   the highe
 st-rated players first. We did this at DEF CON 26. In the\n   end\, everyo
 ne who wanted to play was able to play.\n\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.ou
