[blind-chess] Re: Proposed Fall-Winter Chess Tournament

Hello Paul and others,

The theme idea appears so far to be what the players want.

So if there are enough players for a tournament, how about:
* one King Pawn, one Queen Pawn and one flank opening?
or
* three major variations of one opening like Ruy Lopez or The Sicilian?
or
* other ideas?

Hello Richard,
Please include me for this event. There is some talk of theme openings. If the tournament is a 4 player, double-round event, I assume that the idea would be three different openings, each player trying the opening from the black and white side, right?

Hi All,
I would like to know if there is any interest among blind-chess members in an additional tournament. A brief outline of my proposed tournament follows.
The tournament will be a Quad format, that is groups of four players in a double round robin tournament. You play two games with each of the other three players in your division or six games total.
The tournament will begin October 1 with games scheduled to begin on the first of each month so you only have one additional game a month.
Tournament divisions will be grouped by player rating as of September 15. Division ties will be settled either by play-off or tie break rules as decided by the players. Division winners will have exclusive bragging rights until the next tournament.
If you would like to play in such a tournament, please let me know. If you have other ideas or suggestions, please post them to the list for discussion. 

Richard
