Chess Anyone?

Day 1,766, 20:35 • Published in Ireland Ireland

• by Winston Hope Smith

Haven't written anything in a while and usually when I do it is something political in nature...

Anyway this is something different!

I would like to see if there is interest in a Chess Tournament?

If enough people sign up I'll set up one using www.chessatwork.com (or www.redhotpawn.com)

If this is your thing and you want to sign up then say so in the comments below...
Make an account in either of those site, doesn't matter which. When you make an account you get 6 games free so play away but keep a slot free

If we get the numbers in a few days I'll do a draw etc. set up some rules and off we go.

Until next time

We should have a sign up fee in IEP so that there is a prize for the winner.

Winston Hope Smith Day 1,766, 20:41

we could indeed...

Damhnaic Day 1,766, 20:56

I'm too poor for a sign up fee, but I would jump in.

Winston Hope Smith Day 1,766, 21:03

maybe the Minister's Dept. could fund it 😛

Black Panther I Day 1,766, 21:06

Damhnaic Day 1,766, 21:12

Oh! Thanks fritzhill! That is so kind : 3

Ian E Coleman Day 1,766, 21:40

good idea winston 🙂

Thomas Keesman Day 1,766, 21:47

excellent idea. i also like the idea of prize money.

i hereby commit 2G to go to prize money over a period of three months -to be drawn by WHS as required.

let the kings begin to fall!

Winston Hope Smith Day 1,766, 21:51

A Legend Killer Day 1,766, 23:07

I'd sign up, but my internet is not reliable enough for me to make a commitment.

Winston Hope Smith Day 1,766, 23:09

Andrews I am expecting a couple of moves a day, maybe 3 or 4, could you manage that?

ChewChewShoe Day 1,766, 23:15

Send me a reminder and I'm definitely in.

"Send me a reminder and I'm definitely in." *3

"I came in second place in a middle school tournament." Pfftt only second place. Out of how many people? 😛

Bean&teddy Day 1,766, 23:35

We may be able to get MoC involved in this so that we can have a small prize and raise publicity for it without charging a sign up fee.

great idea btw o/

irishbhoy1967 Day 1,767, 01:09

Meh, you got any Connect 4?

Grainne Ni Mhaille Day 1,767, 01:52

I'd be in for Connect 4, too.
As long as I can be RED.

I doubt I'll have time for a tournament but I play Chess With Friends - pm me if you want a game.

Patrick O'leary Day 1,767, 07:30

I'm in. In my High School Chess Club, I was the highest ranked player.

I was also the only one in the club.

Angela Williams Day 1,767, 12:16

Yeah I am in although have you though about using chess.com completely free for unlimited amount of games?

Bigmike727 Day 1,767, 14:55

An excellent idea, over in eGermany, they have a Ministry of Poker, similar in principle to this, with prizes even

John Gormley Day 1,767, 16:23

I'd probably be up for that. But you'd definitely have to remind me, because I'm a little forgetful lately! 🙂

Sean MacDiarmata Day 1,767, 19:13

Hahaha this looks like it will be a good laugh, im in : )

Anthony Colby Day 1,767, 20:44

Well I have been in contact with the UK MoFa and they are up for contests between our two nations. I proposed golf, they talked about Haxball. Maybe some chess might be in order.
