it is quite difficult to attain 50 participants so I am thinking of changing the tourney format as follows:

Number of Participants: 24

Number of Players per Group: 6

Players to Advance to next round: 3

therefore the 1st round will be composed of 4 groups then trim down to 2 groups in the 2nd round and then 1 group in the 3rd / final round ...

therefore, there will be 3 winners >>> 1st, 2nd & 3rd Placers ... prizes will be announced soon ...

right now only 14 BW members joined already and 10 to go ...

Of course I can set the tournament to OPEN mode and the available spot will definitely be filled in a matter of minutes ... but this is an exclusive tournament for BW members and so I shall maintain the "invite only" mode ...

ciao ... Nf3em

it will start autmatically when 50 participants joined ...

when the games start?

Hi, how can i possibly join this tourney? Am an original BW fans and actively blogging on his chessgames.com.  Thanks
