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?Paul Benson. -----Original Message----- From: R Dinger - Email Address: rrdinger@xxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 13/09/2010 16:15 Sent To: chess - Email Address: blind-chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [blind-chess] Proposed Fall-Winter Chess Tournament 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
