I am giving an exhibition in which I hope to play up to 100 premium sub-1300 players on chess.com.  If you are not over 1300 ( turn based rating on chess.com ) AND a premium member just challenge me if you would like to play. I will accept all challengers ( that qualify ) until I reach 100 challengers OR the end of October, at which point the offer ends. When you challenge me please remember :  I play white in all games , make the game unrated and make the time limit 2 or 3 days per move. I normally play quickly and often start and finish a game in the same day.

 I am doing this to give people a chance to play a titled (OTB) player that may otherwise not have such chances, and to "give back" to this wonderful game that we all love. I am hoping other titled players will follow suit in the future , especially the few IMs and GMs we have on chess.com.

I'm rather surprised by the low uptake, only eight games in progress. I wonder if a better marketing idea would have produced more opponents?

for example: $10 to play a Master! first 100 are free!

And the queen sac?

I was actually 1403 a few weeks back.... had too many games on... a few time outs and a few blunders later from rushing to try to prevent my games going to vacation mode AGAIN my rating crashed!

Are you copying me with the dots thingy... You are, aren't you! lol

It's ok, you're not the first...Cool

Anyway, I'd love a game with you Rex.

We have to play black hey? Hmmm... on the back foot already... I think it's only fair you accidentally push your queen over a cliff!
