Do you enjoy playing chess on Skype? Would you like to give it a try? Then
you definitely should sign up to our 16th 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
(around 90%) are blind or visually impaired.
The event is a 7 rounds Swiss system, with one game every 3 weeks. 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.
Some of the participants are french or spanish speaking players, but don't
worry if you can't speak these languages, a translator will assist you!
Our 15th event ended on August 4, with 129 players from 26 countries. You
