Hello All Chess Players,
The sign-up period for the WCP June- September Skype Chess Tournament is
almost over! This is your last chance to sign up, or you will miss out on
all the fun!
First, join our list: chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
To join this group, send an email to: chess-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the subject, put subscribe.
Then enter the tournament by emailing our list.
I, Curtis Cockayne, will be the Tournament Director.
My email address is: Blueskys012@xxxxxxx
You are invited to play in the World Chess Parlor Tournament.
The tournament is Swiss style. The time control is thirty moves per hour.
Since a chess clock is usually available, the 2.5 minute rule is being
dropped.
This time, to enter,
you must promise to get at least 2 Good Citizen points by the end of Round
3. Usually this means that you will be the third-person timekeeper for at
least one game by the end of Round 3. If you have not received at least 2
GC points, you will be removed from the Tournament.
If you do not have a chess clock, you can write to our chess list, and ask
for someone to show you how
to use a software chess clock. Probably, someone will help you.
You must speak at least a little English or have someone who can help you
with your English.
You can play using Skype or, if your opponent agrees, freechess.org or
Lichess.
The full rules will be emailed with the Round 1 pairings.
Before you enter this tournament, you must get a Skype account, if you
do not have one.
Here is a list of who I have signed up for the June- September Tournament,
so far:
Antonio M. Fernández Zaldívar
Bittor Ibanez
Curtis Cockayne
David Rosenkoetter

free to ask me. I can't wait to hear from you!
