Hi,

I thought about a 6-round swiss system tourney with 10+2 time control before TL68 starts.
So, the tourney would last about 2,5 hrs and players would get the opportunity to meet players from other sections/boards.
Anybody interested?

Best regards
schachbjm

I'd be interested. Could play this weekend or after. You'll probably get the best response from ch 101.

Thursday, July 13th, 2017 at 14:30 server time it is!
I heard from several players that they would prefer 15 5 with 4 rounds to be played.
Which time control do you prefer? 10+2 or 15+2?

Feel free to participate!

Best regards,
schachbjm

About 50% prefer 15 mins plus increment and nobody opposed (many peopled replied that both time controls are fine with them).
So, we ll play 4-5 rapid games with 15+2

Feel free to participate, it is possible spontaneously!

Looking forward and best regards,
schachbjm

REMINDER

I ll run a FICS tourney for TL players on Thursday, July 13th, 2017 at 14:30 server time!
We ll play 4 rapid games with 15 minutes and 2 secs increment. When the majority wants to play a 5th round, we can do so.

Feel free to participate, it is possible spontaneously!

Looking forward and best regards,

Thanks schach for organizing this. What were the results?

Best regards,

Lauri :)

It was fun. I think about doing another one on Saturday, July 22nd at 14:00.
15 2 worked quite well, so I would stick with this time control.
Maybe we can play a themed one (Sicilian, Italian, Ruy Lopez, Kingsindian, French)?!
I am open for constructive suggestions.
