Subject: IMPORTANT, Skype_Chess Fischer Random (Chess 960) Tournament
Invitation/ Entries so far
Hello All Chess Players,
As you know we are doing something different in the tournament, this month!
In this tournament, we are going to play 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, you will start the game with the pieces in your back row in different
positions than normal. The random setup eliminates the prospect of obtaining an
advantage through the memorization of opening lines. It makes players rely on
their talent and creativity. In each round of the tournament, there will be a
different board set up. So basically, in each of your games, your back row, the
row where your queen, king, and main pieces are located, will be placed on
different squares.
Now, there will be approximately 5 rounds in the tournament, depending on the
total number of players. Each round will be approximately 2 weeks long. So,
there will be plenty of time to schedule, and play your game.
The sign up period has already started! So, don't delay any longer, sign up
today!
The deadline to sign up for the tournament is Sunday, August 29, at 1600 UTC.
The tournament will begin on September 1. So, do not delay. To sign up simply
