PAIRING

A listing of who plays whom in a tournament. Pairing charts are posted before each round and also indicate which board number each player is to play on, and which color of the pieces they will have (white or black).

No player, however strong, no member, however large, shall stand above FIDE Florencio Campomanes
If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen
