| Sep 1, 2022 at 16:45 | comment | added | Beginner | In FIDE, can the player ask the arbiter to count or write moves because the player does not have time for that? Also, you mentioned that in FIDE is against the rules that the arbiter intervenes. Can you cite the FIDE rule about that? | |
| Sep 1, 2022 at 10:29 | comment | added | Brian Towers♦ | @Beginner Counting moves is relevant for claiming a draw via the 50 move rule. | |
| Sep 1, 2022 at 0:31 | comment | added | Beginner | May you please give your interpretation of USCF: 14F4. Director may count moves in sudden death. The complete text was added to the question, and it is also in the link that I published about USCF. | |
| Aug 31, 2022 at 11:02 | comment | added | Brian Towers♦ | The link only gives free access to chapters 1, 2 and 11. What is there (mainly chapter 2) confirms what I said about draw claims during sudden death (<5 minutes, <30 seconds increment/delay) apart from using opponent's scoresheet if complete. It says nothing about the arbiter writing moves for the player. | |
| Aug 31, 2022 at 3:23 | comment | added | Beginner | I found a link that allow to access for free the USCF rules. Can you take a look? I added to the question, but here is also the link: uschess.org/index.php/Official-Rules/… | |

| Aug 30, 2022 at 23:22 | comment | added | Brian Towers♦ | @Beginner FIDE publish their Laws so anybody can read them. The USCF charges money to see their laws so these apply to FIDE. However I would be very surprised if the USCF mandates any cases where arbiters / tournament directors have to write down a players moves when FIDE doesn't. | |
