FM Chess960 tournament 2019

Postby socrates » January 7th, 2019, 10:49 am

Hey guys,

I wanted to create a new chess tournament and this time I decided to do Chess960 since this is more fun imo. 960 is basically the same rules as chess except the order of the main pieces are randomised (same for both sides). This leads to more interesting positions it seems and can lead to very early attacks.

You can see the rules here: https://lichess.org/variant/chess960

Games will be played on lichess.org (you don't need an account to play) and the default controls will be Real Time, 15mins per side and 15 secs per move. I will allow games to be played with different time controls if both players agree.

Games will be best of 3 and will be a straight knock out tournament structure.

Reply here if you want to sign up, sign ups will close 16th January.

You are defined by two things:
The patience when you've got nothing.
and the attitude when you've got everything.

Reminder that sign ups will close tomorrow evening!

If you are worried about when matches will be played there will be no fixed times. Each round will last a week and the 2 players can agree a time themselves.
