      Rules of Chess Etiquette

  1. Every game must begin and end with the players shaking hands.
  2. Between the two handshakes, no talking is permitted.
  3. Never do anything to distract any other player in the tournament.
  4. Always use the "touch move" rule.
  5. Never gloat over a victory or become despondent or hostile following a defeat. It is best to analyze the game with your opponent after the game ends and in a different room from where you played. Leave the playing room quietly when you finish so that you do not distract other people who are still playing.
  6. Never comment on a game in progress whether the game is yours or one that you are just watching.
  7. If you want to dispute a move or have a question, raise your hand to summon a tournament director.
  8. Have fun, but be a good sport!
