Jim
   Okay
   I may be
enlightened  on the process  some day, this being said, I
have only two days to  get to the  place where I can join
the tournament.
(I believe that the deadline will be extended.)

  Problem
my  I Phone six does not seem able to download an app
called Skype
  How do I join ftp-chess

  The standard procedure is to  send an
email ?  I did this and have yet to receive a reply.
(Yes, send the email. If you are subscribed, you should be receiving emails via
ftp-chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
In particular, you should have received the present email twice, once via Usbca
and once via Ftp-chess.)

This
link  on your email did not send me to a web page but
rather  put me on  an email  send  page.

   What are the  other
methods of  playing chess in a tournament  as I have a
real  problem  of using  video  data  when I can only
access audio data?
(Many of our players can access only audio data.
You would just tell each other your moves on Skype and make the moves on your
chess board.)

Is
there a web page for Skype that will give me more
information?
(Try skype.com.)

What is the method of putting Skype on  a
Mac Book Pro  assuming that  there is no access  with
iOS?
  Do you have an accepted protocol
for setting up and playing chess via Skype  in real time?

   When I think of more questions, I will
send another  email.
  Should I be
asking  all these questions  by sending  you a private
email?
(No, send public emails.)

  I am assuming
that  your answers on this list  will also  help
other  technically challenged  chess players.
  Regards
  Irene

Hi,

We hope that you

will enter the tournament.

Irene, you

do not have to join freechess.org.

Almost all the games are played on Skype.

As the invitation says, you must have

Skype, and you must join ftp-chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

When you have done these two things,

enter the tournament.

Best wishes,
Jim

Slagle

Jim

Thoune is the Tournament Director.

Louis

I am so pleased to meet
other chess players. We can perhaps,

work out the best

method of joining

this tournament.

I
have tried several times to fill out

the registration

form at free

chess.org

There must be
a problem with the screen reader as I

do not seem to be

getting back the

access code from Freechess. Support

was not helpful. As if, I am not technology smart

enough to check the spam folder in my

email?

Did you

complete the Handley

Institute

Chess course? A really good learning

program. I think it is expected to be

a six months

course that I

completed in five years. That should

classify me as a slow learner?

I would appreciate any insights that

you

have Louis on our success in

joining on line

tournaments.

Regards
Irene

a beautiful thing.
