Hi Richard,
Please sign me up. It sounds great and I think either 1.Nf6 or 1.e6
would be good. Lucy

Subject: [blind-chess] Spring-Summer Theme Tournament Proposal
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
