La Dirección Técnica de la AEAC recuerda que la participación en un encuentro por Equipos representando a la AEAC, como este match Amistoso, es una gran responsabilidad por dos motivos: el respeto que se debe tener por el esfuerzo de sus compañeros de equipo y el hecho de defender el prestigio de la AEAC.

Por este motivo, la Dirección Técnica de la AEAC rechazará la inscripción de los socios que hayan perdido por tiempo una partida, sin causa de fuerza mayor justificada, en un encuentro internacional en los últimos dos años.
El match se disputará en el servidor de la ICCF. El tiempo de reflexión es 40 días para cada 10 movimientos.
En cada tablero se disputarán dos partidas, una con blancas y otra con negras, contra el mismo adversario. Los emparejamientos de los tableros se harán procurando que la diferencia de ELO Los emparejamientos de los tableros se harán intentando que se enfrenten jugadores de ELO lo más similar posible según el listado 2025-1 sea lo menor posible.
El torneo está habilitado para la introducción de jugadas condicionales.
La inscripción a este match amistoso es gratuita y se cerrará el 28 de Febrero de 2025. Un socio puede jugar en 1, o 2 tableros. En caso de que el número de inscritos supere el número de tableros previsto se primará que participe el máximo número de socios.
