The ECF Online County Championship 2020 took place yesterday, Saturday 21st November. Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to have been a thread on this Forum until now.
The format was similar to that of the FIDE Online Olympiad, with teams comprising two Open U18 Boards, two Girls U18 Boards, one Open U11 Board and one Girls U11 Board.
Twelve Counties took part. Warwickshire were the winners, with Kent second and Oxfordshire third. Congratulations to all of them.

When I have been able to check one or two facts, I shall post about Fair Play issues.

I am pleased to say that the arbiters have no reason to suspect that any players cheated, nor were any false allegations made. This is the first time I have been able to make that statement for any important British event with which I have been involved, either as an arbiter or as a player.
For the avoidance of doubt, my comments in the paragraph above the quotation include the player in question.David Sedgwick (in another thread) wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:15 pmThere was one player with "form", but who continues to protest his innocence to this day. I express no judgment on that.Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 10:54 amWere the previously identified cheats excluded from the event? I was a bit disturbed to hear that one player was caught cheating then played another one immediately afterwards, but that was ok as he didn't cheat on that occasion!
He has served the prescribed period of exclusion in respect of the earlier event, so he was allowed to play.

Re: ECF Online County U18 Championship 2020
It would be interesting to know the rational for some of them:David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 8:49 pmThe strict Fair Play Regulations for the Championship can be found at https://www.englishchess.org.uk/Juniors ... mpionship/.
- What's the problem with using a tablet to play?
- Why can a touchscreen not be used to make moves?
- Why does the use of a trackpad need arbiter approval?
- If I'd been playing, and using a trackpoint instead of a mouse, as I often do, would that have been OK (and why, either way)?

I don't have the expertise to respond, but I know that similar points were raised by the team captains at the Technical Meeting.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 9:11 amIt would be interesting to know the rational for some of them:David Sedgwick wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 8:49 pmThe strict Fair Play Regulations for the Championship can be found at https://www.englishchess.org.uk/Juniors ... mpionship/.
