Do you enjoy playing chess on Skype? Would you like to give it a try? Then you definitely should sign up to our 13th Skype Tournament!
Everything is free. You only need a microphone or headset and a Skype account. Players of any strength are welcome. Most of the participants are blind or visually impaired, but a few of them are not.
The event is a 7 rounds Swiss system, with one game every 15 days. The time control is 1:45 for each player for the whole game.
There are two groups : Group A for stronger players and Group B for weaker ones. New players whose Elo rating is between 1400 and 1499 can choose whether they want to play in the stronger or the weaker group. If you don't have an Elo rating, we'll check it together.
Many of our members are french speaking players, but don't worry if you can't speak French, a translator will assist you!
Our 12th event is now over, and 102 players from 20 countries took part. You can check the results here :
