  • International Chess Forums Tournament

    Hi guys,

    I was wondering if there might be some interest in a correspondence chess round robin tournament with the following participants:
    • Chess Forums (UK)
    • Chess Leaders (Bahrain)
    • Chess Talk (Canada)
    • OzChess (Australia)


    If there is enough interest from members, please let me know and I will set it up.

    Thanks,

    AO

      Great! Right now Canada, UK, Bahrain, and Australia are keen, we are only waiting on Germany's Chess Forum to tell us whether they are in or out.

          Nope, I have never heard of ICCF before. I am not opposed to it being rated, but because multiple players will be recommending moves, seems unratable. Also, just organizing this is actually a big task, so if its to be rated someone else would have to put their hand up and take care of that aspect to this torunament.

            It looks like we are off to the races because members of every forum have now expressed interest. Okay, this is how it will work.
            1. Chess Forums (UK)
            2. OzChess (Aus)


            Will make their moves every Wednesday and Saturday (USA Eastern time, late evening).
            1. Chess Talk (Can)
            2. Chess Leaders (Bah)
            3. Space Chess (Ger)


            Will make their moves every Monday and Thursday.

            Threads will be created for each game, every country will play every other country (round robin style tournament), so 4 games in all for each forum. On the due date, listed above, the move with the most support will be the one played. Members therefore should state what their move preference is within the thread.

            Chess diagrams will be generated and placed in the thread to help everyone keep track.

            ChessTalk (Canada) now has 2 moves to make, in these two (2) threads:
