Hello Chessers,
The Fall-Winter Theme Tournament begins its last round March 1 and soon will be
completed. Since
you will then have nothing to do, I am planning another theme tournament to
keep you busy.
I am thinking of offering another Quad format theme tournament beginning April
1 after conclusion of
the Fall-Winter Theme. I am proposing focusing on the English Opening with
three variations.
Round 1 and 4 Symmetrical ECO A30s 1. c4 c5
Round 2 and 5 Reverse Sicilian ECO A20s 1. c4 e5
Round 3 and 6 Other ECO A10s 1. c4 anything but c5 or e5.
Quad divisions will be grouped by your Elo rating on March 15 and competition
will begin April 1,
2011, the first anniversary of the blind-chess list. Each player would play
each side of each
selected opening twice, once each color this time with the same opponent. I am
leaning toward 1...
Nf6 or 1... e6 for the other selection, but I am open to suggestions from the
players.
I think this would be an instructive opening for all players to study and try
out. If you would
like to enter or have suggestions please post to the list.
Richard
