It might be worthy to play a test game with somebody before the start.
Just tell me when you are available, and we'll try to arraange a friendly
game, with an arbiter.

Invitation to play our 20th Chess Skype Tournament
Do you enjoy playing chess on Skype? Would you like to give it a try?
Then you definitely should enter our 20th Skype Tournament!
Everything is free. You only need a microphone or headset, or a
smartphone, and a Skype account. Players of any strength are welcome.
Most of the participants (around 90%) are blind or visually impaired.
The event is a 7 rounds Swiss system, with one game every 3 weeks. The
time control is 1:45 for each player for the whole game.
There are two groups : Group A for stronger players and Group B for
weaker ones. New players whose Elo rating is between 1400 and 1499 can
choose whether they want to play in the stronger or the weaker group.
If you don't have an Elo rating, we'll check it together.
Some of the participants are french or spanish speaking players, but
don't worry if you can't speak these languages, a translator will assist
Our 19th event had 109 players from 25 countries. You can check the
results here :
