Adjournment: Course Module Format

Please read the background about the course concept, and then practice the concept using the 'Practice Resources' found at the end of this course module page


The Theory

The ending of a playing session usually due to time constraints. One of the players to move has to "Seal" their next move in an envelope. Then a future date and time for resuming the game is agreed upon by both players. The position and time left,etc need to all be recorded, so play can resume fairly resetting the clocks to what they were.

Analytical assistance between adjournment from other players, computers, etc cannot be stopped and usually there is no rule forbidding such assistance.
