📅 ChessWorld Calendar – Events and Holidays

The ChessWorld Calendar serves two purposes: (1) sharing chess-related events with the community, and (2) booking holiday days to protect your games while you’re away.

1️⃣ Add Chess Events

Members can add events to the ChessWorld Calendar to keep the community informed and connected.

Chess Festivals: Showcase large-scale events for players worldwide.
Team Tournaments: Highlight upcoming team competitions.
Exhibitions & Socials: Add ChessWorld Socials, exhibitions, and friendly gatherings.
International Scope: Filter events by country to find ones that are local or relevant to you.

2️⃣ Book Holidays (My Stuff → My Holidays)

To prevent losing on time when you are away, you can book holiday days via the My Stuff → My Holidays menu.

🌴 Why Book Holidays?

When you are on holiday, booked days ensure opponents cannot claim wins on time against you. This keeps your games safe until you return.

🗓️ How It Works

Select the dates of your holiday in advance. These are recorded in the Calendar, pausing timeout claims for the chosen period.

How to Access

Add Events: Visit the ChessWorld Calendar page and submit your chess-related event.
Book Holidays: Go to My Stuff → My Holidays to protect your games during your absence.
