13 round ¾ Howell

Previous  Top  Next

The following set of ¾ Howell movements completes the ¾ Howell movements based on the 26 board movement of the 7 table Howell. It is possible with these movements for the event to start as 7 tables, and before the change into the second round is executed, to grow from 7 tables to 12 tables without disrupting the players greatly. The number of boards is constant, only the pair numbers have to be changed.

These movements were first devised by Sam Gold. As the balancing of ¾ Howell movements is not of much purpose, it is not necessary to put any more effort into devising better movements than the originals. Pair numbers 14 and higher are stationary.
