Lately, quite a few people have been catching the chess bug in chat, and I thought, "Well, naturally, we need a tournament to get a champion!" The format could be done several different ways; at this point the most important thing to figure out is how many people are interested.

Sign up! 16 would be the ideal number.

The following people have confirmed interest and are friends with me on chess.com:

-PYL
-Goose
-Lucky P
-AT Allianz
-Howes/NewerShadow
-Sterling
-Lockwood
-Brick
-Jimbo
-Neo
-Fal
-Trent
-Comet

I'll try to contact everyone. I plan to start this Wednesday, so if you need to sign up on chess.com, be sure and do so! We have 14 confirmed participants right now.

To be honest. I don't think I am even a novice

Neo · « **Reply #6 on:** January 21, 2010, 05:25:00 am »

I won a few tournaments as a kid, but haven't played in years. I'd still be up for it, though.
