Rules of Chess Etiquette
- Every game must begin and end with the players shaking hands.
- Between the two handshakes, no talking is permitted.
- Never do anything to distract any other player in the tournament.
- Always use the "touch move" rule.
- 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.
- Never comment on a game in progress whether the game is yours or one
that you are just watching.
- If you want to dispute a move or have a question, raise your hand to
summon a tournament director.
- Have fun, but be a good sport!
