In honor of Olly Mellors coming back to Canada its time for a chess tournament. I've had this title of eCanada's chess champion for to long. It wasn't even earned at the time as the competition was terrible even for my skill level. I'm decent if not good. But I've held this not earned title for going on 4 years.
I want to put old ghosts to rest and and see where I rank under actual competition. If there's any.

20k received from Rylde... the competition is on
2k received from challenger 1 .... DMV3
nah I'll just cheat.
Wait for you to turn away and knick ya queen.
~hyuu~
I'm in! 🙂
2k received from challenger and all round good guy bean counter JonathonEdwards.
I am interested, but when will games be held? And where do you play?
What's the format, Rylde? In terms of time controls, or will there be any?
The Free Internet Chess Server is where I play, and it offers time controls of your choice. My preferred is 5 minutes on each side; run out of time and you lose.
5min is a bit fast for myself I like 10-15min per side.
When I was younger I tried to play chest and came close to being mated occasionally. 😃
I know all your strats from the last time...
I'm going to stick around and see how many people are going to participate before I buy in 😛
I'll let Olly figure out the details for format.
With Rylde's encouragement and permission, I will turn to organizing a fair and reasonable format. Two challengers so far... hoping for something like 10. Will contact players for input/preferences of format, venue etc.
And yet another contestant: TomislavRexCroatorum..... entry fee of 2k has been received.
if somebody e-rep poor but chess skill rich wants to play i'll sponsor them for half the winnings.
Waiting for more details... intrigued, chess skills may be rusty but still got some...
Damn it Rylde! I'm jingling pocket change here. Pretty soon gonna have to give the pig a headache. XD
Do you accept challenges from foreign players?
