Version 12.3.16-MVP [ SlimChess ]
General descriptionChess is one of the most popular sports, the attractiveness and clarity of the game (in contrast to poker, backgammon) has not been lost for many centuries. Today, there are hundreds of options for the game, which makes it possible to develop a variety of their variations. And this is a fairly large segment of players from all over the world compared to all other board games.
Although the origins of chess are somewhat obscure, the modern rules of the game of chess first appeared in the Middle Ages. Before that, they were constantly changing, but then the World Chess Organization FIDE established universal standardized rules.
Rapid chess, various variants of chess, online chess and correspondence chess have their own little additions to the rules.
Chess is the oldest game and has long been compared to a military battle.
According to one of the legends, even the invention of chess is associated with the order of one ruler-commander who wanted to get a game, so to speak, a simulator of a real battle between two armies. And although living blood does not flow in chess, it is quite appropriate to imagine a chess player as a commander in command of an army of pieces in order to better understand the tricks of battles at the chessboard.
Do not underestimate new projects, their potentially higher attractiveness, greater interest in new and early game formats (for example, quick play, a fairly popular format).
The project focuses on maximum reliability, a high degree of configurability of game formats, the ability to take part in a tough competition that allows you to determine your level of intelligence, patience and consistency of actions. After all, chess undoubtedly reflects our actions in everyday life.
In addition, a good prize pool will allow the winners to develop their gaming skills and talents without being distracted by the external vanity of our crazy world.
The second point that initiators take into account is marketing. It is no secret that this expense item is dominant in almost all projects, and may be in second place after wages.
In this project, the emphasis is not on project visualization, although there will be a test site, but on interaction with already working sites in this topic. This will allow the partners of the project not only to profit from participating in the project, but also to very quickly deploy their own tournament project. At the same time, expenses will increase slightly, and the profitability of the site may increase significantly.
The project will not need multi-million dollar marketing investments, and investors and partners will receive very good dividends for a small investment.
Structural components of the platformThe MVP version of the system can be represented as in the diagram below. The system is networked, distributed, which justifies the need to rent servers for the needs of the project.
Software development planThe planned development time for the MVP version of the system is 200 calendar days, including weekends and holidays. The start of work is scheduled for the next day after receiving funding in full, if it is not a weekend or a holiday. Otherwise, the date is postponed to the next working day.
Based on the volume of work on the development of the system software - about 1,000 components, such terms are the most optimal, and the quality of the product will correspond to the full version of the gaming platform.
The enlarged groups of system components are shown in the table below. Drilling into more than 50 groups is not the goal of the customization document. Technical details are available and required by project specialists.
It is permissible to restructure groups as the work progresses, which should be justified by the results of testing the options for solving the assigned tasks.
The entire development process includes three stages - design, programming and testing, which are carried out throughout the entire duration of the project.
Marketing and promotionIn the last 60 days of development, work is underway to attract network sites of partners - sites, as well as marketing activities to attract players and interested parties.
The main direction of spending funds will be precisely work with partners and their representatives.
Test tournamentUpon completion of work on the development of the system software, a series of tournaments will be held, based on the test results, the identified problems will be improved and the system will be launched in maximum mode.
Prior to the start of the main rounds, a qualifying round is held. Then the tournament is held in 3 rounds, according to the results of which only Ό of the players with the best ratings go to the next one.
The qualifying round is held according to the rules of classical chess with a time limit of 60 minutes for each of the players, while the maximum game time will be no more than 120 minutes.
The types of games for the main rounds are as follows:
- classic chess;
- battle chess;
- blitz.
The 4 players with the highest rating among all the participants in the tournament win. Moreover, the chess player with the highest rating receives the main prize fund, the rest divide the additional one according to their rating.
In the case of a result in which two or more have the same ratings, an additional round is held in the blitz format.
At the end, the tournament is analyzed and the rating of its participants is calculated. The rating of the participants is cumulative, which has a positive effect on the reputation of a chess player as a professional.
