Hi Chess Lovers,
This time, I am the Tournament
Director.

You are invited to play in the
World
Chess Parlor Tournament.
This time, to
enter,
you must promise to get at least 2
Good Citizen points by
the end of Round 3 and a total of at
least 4 GC points by the end of Round 5.
Usually this means that you will be
the
third-person timekeeper for at least
one game by the
end of Round 3.
If you have not received at least 2
GC
points, you will be removed from the
Tournament.
If you do not have a chess clock, you
can write our FTP list, and ask for
someone to show you how
to use a software chess clock.
Probably, someone will help you.
Similarly, you must have at least 4 GC
points by the end of Round 5.
This will mean that probably many of
your games will have a third party timekeeper.
All are welcome to play.
You arrange to play
your games at a time and
date convenient
to
you.
We can work
around
your
schedule, even if you
