4NCL dispute

[Roger de Coverly]

The 4NCL website has details of a dispute which took place during the May weekend.

It involved a game that went no further then 1. d4 f5

I'm not sure I see the point of disputiog the eligibilty of Barnet's board 1, not least when it was his third game of the weekend.

Emerson felt that he should not have been expected to play Cherniaev. You may or may not agree with him, but I don't think that you should expect him to change his position because Cherniaev's two previous opponents didn't take the same view.

[Kevin Thurlow]

A game involving Emerson and Cherniaev leading to a dispute is hardly surprising, surely?

[Roger de Coverly]

Emerson felt that he should not have been expected to play Cherniaev.

Why was that? According to the 4NCL report, it was nit-picking over whether a player with a FID designation needed to be a Gold member of the ECF when a player with a RUS designation didn't.

He could object to playing Russians, but why isn't that equivalent to Iranians refusing to play Israelis? The 4NCL arbiters or managers had accepted Cherniaev's participation.

His objection was that Cherniaev had recently played two tournaments in Russia:

So the FID / Gold member business was just a smokescreen?

It appears to have become the main focus of his defence but I'm fairly sure that the membership issue on its own wouldn't have been sufficient reason for white to leave his clock running after one move.

This isn't stated in the decision text though.

I wonder: has anyone else found it difficult to read the decision text? Isn't it usual in dispute rulings to start off by describing what happened, having taken input from all the parties involved?

I can't find this on the 4NCL website. I don't seem to be very good at finding things on websites, can someone give directions?

On the homepage it's currently the 7th item down.

It's in the News section, currently some items down on the first page.

A reason for navigating to the page is to see if there's other relevant information.

Of course it does. I wanted to see where it actually was in case there was an earlier item in the same place.

Thanks to those who gave the answer. I did try News but gave up too quickly.

I had it in my mind that there was an earlier statement covering the basic facts, but it seems I was mistaken.
