Hi Jim t,
I am curious to know of this little tournament? Is it a
correspondence tournament? Though I can sign up for skype games,
as there's a assistant to help pe, I will see on time permits and
availability with the assistant. Hope to hear from you.
With Warm Regards

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on
fighting the old, but on building the new.

Subject: [usbca_chess] Last Call For US-Italy Tournament!
Chessplayers!
About a month ago, I invited you all to participate in a little
tournament
against Italy. I have 14 responses to date. They are, listed
very roughly in
order of playing strength,
Mario Montalvo
Jim Thoune
Michael Davis
David Rosenkoetter
Randy Kruzeniski
Curtis Cockayne
Evan Reese
Jim Homme
Marilyn Bland
Bill Rivera
Dave Schuh
Ginny Alverson
Michael Rodgerson
Jimmy Simpson
My thanks to you all for stepping up. There are a couple format
changes to
mention, and it is my hope that this last call will induce some
more to step
forward.
You will be asked to play just two games. Games can be played on
skype,
Lichess, or Freechess. You will be matched against one player
from the
Italian team, and you will each play one game as white and one
game as
black. As best we can based on participants, we will match you
against a
player of your approximate playing ability. I am proposing a
clock time of
game/90 with a ten-second increment per move.
If you are playing on skype, there will be a third-party
timekeeper to
manage clocks, record moves, and resolve any issues, including
interpreting
where needed. If you are playing on Lichess or Freechess, of
course the
system will manage time and scorekeeping. You would be using
your own board
and pieces, you would not be required to use an onscreen board.
We hope to start the tournament on April 1st or as soon
thereafter as
possible, so this has a somewhat short fuse.
We will plan to use the entire month of April to get all games
played, so
working folks will have ample time to get games scheduled and
played.
I hope it doesn't happen, but if you want or need to remove your
name from
the above list, let me know soonest. Same goes if you would like
to add your
name to the list. We would dearly love to have more of you
onboard to
represent the US!
If you know of a player who might like to participate, please, by
all means,
pass this information along. I ask only that players either be
US citizens,
or spend an appreciable amount of time in the US.
If you have any questions or want to add your name to the list,
please reply
to me directly. I prefer that you do not reply via the
usbca_chess List. The
List has enough traffic as it is! :)
I look forward to welcoming a bunch of additions!!!
Yours in chess,
Jim T
