My fellow turtles, are you interested in a turtle-only tournament? Of course there is the epic original ( http://www.chess.com/tournament/the-turtle-tournament )
but that has been going on for over 2 years now, so many of you had no chance to join that or are eliminated.
I do propose a slightly different setup though, as the duel structure of the original leads to 5 year tournies - great fun, but you don't want to have 5 of those, especially as a non-premium member with a limit on how many tournaments you can join. Settings would be:
pace: 14 days / move (turtles! turtles!)
group size: 4
max players: 48 (wih priority for members of the group)
advance: 1
rating: open
move speed: all players
standard starting position.
All games would be rated, tie-breaks would be used, vacation time allowed, min number of games completed: 10; max timeout: 5%.
In case of succes we can repeat this every so often.
Comments, suggestions welcome!
