Additions to the rules by the tournament direction

Der Winter steht vor der Tür, Schnee und Eis, Kälte und Glätte lassen Dich immer mehr zurückziehen neben den Ofen, der wohlige Wärme ausstrahlt, der den Schachspieler in dumpfes Brüten versetzt, ob der Springer- oder der Läuferzug besser ist... Oder... oder... vielleicht doch der Turm?
Ein warmer Tee, lass es draußen schneien, das Schachbrett ist trocken und warm ist es in der Stube, gemütlich. Schach macht dann am meisten Spaß!!!
Start ist der Winteranfang!
