Hello All Visually Impaired Chess Players,
This Skype_Google Chess Tournament is free. Anyvisually impaired chess
player, with a Skype account, can play. The onlyrequirement is that you
speak enough English to play chess or have someone whocan translate for
you.
In this tournament, we are going to play a gamecreated by the chess
grandmaster Bobby Fischer. That is right!! Back by popular demand, is the
Skype_Google Chess 960 Tournament!!
For those who do not know, or might notremember, in the game of Chess 960,
also known as Fischer Random Chess, youwill start the game with the pieces
in your back row in different positionsthan normal. The random setup
eliminates the prospect of obtaining an advantagethrough the memorization of
opening lines. It makes players rely on theirtalent and creativity. In each
round of the tournament, there will be adifferent board set up. So
basically, in each of your games, your backrow, the row where your queen,
king, and main pieces are located, will beplaced on different squares.
Now, there will be approximately 5 rounds in thetournament, depending on the
total number of players. Each round will beapproximately 3 weeks long. So,
there will be plenty of time to schedule, andplay your game. Each game will
have a time control of 105 minutes perplayer, to make all your moves.
So, do you think you are ready for thechallenge?? The only thing left is
