Great! ...
Great! I'll add you to the list and send an invite when we are close to launching (mid to late July).I haven't been playing much, but I'll give this a go. Will you send an invite at chess.com or do I need to sign up?
Yeah, that's Vecht. He's a seed I put in there to challenge Lurker. :laugh:Ugh, this is weird. And, theres some ring-in whose rated 1985 or so. I could go from "unrated" to +2,000 if i beat them!
Me, too. I wasn't sure how this was going to work but I was thinking each opponent pair would get a unique set-up, not just one set up for the entire tourney. Guess this way is more logical and fair, though. Still, I am enjoying this as a change of pace. Not knowing the starting position for a tourney really adds some spice! I would like to see more top level chess tourneys adopt 960!I am disappointed that every single game had the same starting position. I realize that at a minimum you have to play the same position as white and black vs the same opponent, but I was hoping to play several different positions.
