Three Check World Championship 2025 - Scheduling

@theodd vs @cubbusiness ended with a win to @theodd after three sets of tie-breaks.

About the discussion between @Three_check_computer and @Mr_Prabhakar_Roy

I was requested to look through three games, and I looked through three games that I think are those referred to with 90%+ accuracy. In my mind, they do not look very suspicious. The positions are quite simple and the moves all look like very natural first choices when playing quickly through them.

My opinion about using comp between games is that it's something the rules should forbid, but it doesn't state anything about it. By that, I cannot see that Three_check_computer has broken any rules.

I will suggest for the arbiters to include this in the rules for the next rounds.

I second theodd’s opinion. I just went through the games, and there seems to be nothing very suspicious at all. As for the accuracy, it really isn’t a good metric here. Having 95% accuracy with White is not that big of a thing if white outplays black from the get go.

But, on the topic of using engine analysis mid game, I would suggest that a rule be added to forbid such things. We are supposed to prepare against our opponents beforehand, and not disrupt the flow of the match in between. However, no rule explicitly states that engine use is forbidden after a game ends, but mid-match; so, there’s nothing wrong with what Three_check_computer did.

Again I am of the same opinion as theodd.
May the championship continue in good spirit!

Regarding suspicions of cheating, there is a paragraph in the rules that is very clear:

If you suspect your opponent cheated or manipulated their rating, report them using the official
Lichess report system: lichess.org/report. Additionally, send us a direct message (DM) with details
of the incident.
For abusive behavior in DMs or game chats, take screenshots, upload them to Imgur (or a similar
image hosting platform), and send us the link in a DM. Report the abuse to Lichess moderators as
well.

We have zero tolerance for abuse. Players found to be abusive will be removed from the
tournament.

Please avoid making any public accusations; that is not the correct procedure for this type of situation. Please go to lichess.org/report.
