{}-->Chessplayers! If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. Resident, this invitation
is for you! I have spoken with friends from Italy, and we have conjured a
little contest between our two nations. We would like to have at least 15 or 20
players, from each nation of course, who are brave enough to join our
tournament. It works like this: We would use skype to communicate with each
other. If you’re new to skype, don’t worry. You will be sent a link by email.
Clicking on that link will launch your connection with skype. And skype is only
for communicating. You still use your own chessboard, just as if you were
sitting across the table from your opponent. If you don’t have skype but are
interested in this tournament, skype is free to download. You would need to
create your skype handle. Time control will be probably game/90, maybe with a
10-second increment. In case you’re not familiar, that means that each player
has 90 minutes total to complete the game. If we use the 10-second increment,
that means that ten seconds is added to your time with each move.You’ll play at
least two games against the same opponent, switching colors. In the event of a
draw, you would play a third game. Ultimately, your aim is to score two points,
so the maximum number of games you could be expected to play is four, but that
would only be if all four of your games ended in draws. You’d have the month of
March to complete your games, so working folks can use evenings or weekends to
schedule games. All games will have a third-party time- and score-keeper who
will manage the clock, record the game moves, and also will intercede in the
event of any disputes. The timekeeper will also assist with translation, so you
do not need to worry if you know no Italian. Scoring: The player first scoring
two points earns one point for their team. In the event that both players score
two points, as described above, then each team would receive a half point. The
team with the most points wins! Interested? Just reply to this email. And just
think, this is a great opportunity to reconnect with some fellow chessplayers,
it’s a great opportunity to Score One For The U.s., and, if you’re new to all
this, it’s a great opportunity to stick your toe into a whole new swimming
hole! I’d love to hear from you soon, so, give it some thought, and give it a
shot! Best regards,Jim T
