PLAYING ZONE UPDATED

We inform all Mundial Chess users that our playing zone has been updated to Beta v1.0, as we have been reporting to the players:

Updates on the board.

- Button of "rematch", or new game. At the end of the game, players can seek a rematch with his opponent and choose the colour of the pieces for the new game. A button is activated, in order for the request to be accepted. The opponent will have the option to accept not only the challenge, but also the colour chosen by the other player. In case of a disagreement, the players can always discuss the situation on the chat.

- Last movement highlighted. A soft red animation marks the square for a few seconds, announcing the player where the last piece of his opponent was moved. In this way that game situation is notified.

- Correction of the text that communicated the resolution of the stalemate. This error is fixed where previously the score of half a point for each player wasn't obtained.

- Added a bell sound for each move made. It works perfectly synchronized with the clock in every move made. This option has been implemented after numerous suggestions from the players who visit our playing zone.

Updates to the CHAT ROOM.

- Games tab. Users will see the items which are for real-time play only, not as in the previous situation where finished games remained visible for selection.

This new version 1.0 is another step closer to our users, with the hope that with updates and player feedback, the system will get to be more intuitive and pleasing for the practice of on-line chess. All suggestions received, without exception, are being dealt with and evaluated by our programming team.

See you on the PLAYING ZONE, where you will find chess players from every country and all levels.

Greetings from Mundial Chess

PRESS RELEASE

The organizers of mundialchess.com wish to address a statement to all its users and participants regarding two major changes to the 1st International Online Advanced Chess Tournament.

1 - The final modification of the tournament's start date, which is now scheduled for January 8, 2010. Whereupon the official registration period will remain open until January 3, 2010.

2 - An important change in the site for the final awards and special prizes for those classified in the top eight positions from each tournament. The organizers of mundialchess.com are committed to the philosophy and main idea of this tournament, which is to take any player in the world (regardless of their level) closer to the best tournaments in the chess arena and to feel at 100% the play of those with the greatest strength and international prestige. A change of venue for said event has been inevitable.

For its 1st edition it was decided that the place and festival elected would be the VIII International Chess Festival in Benidorm (Gran Hotel Bali) which now and for reasons beyond our control, will not provide that environment, thus the festival or tournament in which that event will take place is currently being studied by the organizers of mundialchess.com.

All this will be announced and published in the coming days on our website, as well as in other media. Also, all registered users and players will receive the newsletter according to each news item.

Similarly, we confirm that the player who will face the lucky winners is the current number one on the FIDE ranking, Veselin Topalov.

Fees and promotions for all registered users remain intact. The full year access to the playing zone, as well as additional promotions (which are included with your registration), will be enacted after the tournament has ended. At the same time, users who want to try our play zone will have FREE access until the tournament's start date.
