1st Chess 960 TOURNAMENT

Hope to see you there!

i went to join... and found a bug. we'll fix it asap!

Well, I have had to change some parameters... as it was asking for at least 5 games on 960chess (obviously nobody has any yet) but I have fixed it simply setting it up to 0.

i tried to join a few seconds ago and it still won't let me because of the 5 games requirement...

hm...i tried again and it worked...weird...anyway...good luck everybody

I tried to join and got a message that said "you must have completed 5 online chess games". I've completed almost 2400.

I joined the instant I saw it. This is going to be awesome!

I have changed it again... down to 0... let's see if everybody is allowed to join now. :)

Only 25 spots at this moment (75 players registered)

I will answer a repetitive question:

-"Your online rating won't be affected! 960chess and standard chess will have different stats as in Live with Blitz, Long and Quick"

- "Therefore, if you haven't played a single 960Chess game here in chess.com your rating will be 1200"

I will join if you make it unrated. : )

your current online rating is not affected!

960Chess has a completly different rating account... so you will start with 1200 as everybody else...

I want to start one too but I need to think of a good theme for trophies.

I know that there is a different rating account, but I would like it to be unrated.

I also started a big ol' shuffle tourney!

If you can't join the first, join mine (or join both like I did!)
