Hello All Chess Players, We are going to do something different in the
tournament, this month!
In this tournament, we are going toplay a game created by the chess grandmaster
Bobby Fischer. That's right we are going to play Chess 960. For those who do
not know, 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 5rounds in the tournament,
depending on the total number of players. Eachround will be approximately 2
weeks long. So, there will be plenty of time toschedule, and play your game.
So, do you think you are ready forthe challenge? The only thing left is for you
to sign up!The deadline to sign up for thetournament is Sunday, August 29, at
1600 UTC. The tournament will begin on September 1. So, do not delay. To sign
up simply email meat: BLUESKYS012@xxxxxxx ,please put “ ”CHESS 960 Entry” in
