Invitation to play our 27th Chess Skype Tournament
Do you enjoy playing chess on Skype? Would you like to give it a try? Then
you definitely should enter our 26th 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 you!
Our 26th event had 160 players from 34 countries. You can check the results
