Our first live tournament is about to start with Maxamilion vs Hermes3 match Sunday at 12 pm GMT . Anybody who would like to watch the game is welcome to join us. You can read the Live Chess Tournament thread in the group forums for more details. 

Here is a copy of the letter posted there:

Dear Friends,

Our first live tournament is starting. This is experimental, more like a beta, and it did not have an open call, but upcoming tournaments will be open to all. 

Current tournament format is :

4 players knock out games. Main rounds are G/90 . If there is a tie 15/10 rapid games follows. If tie is not broken, then 5/5 blitz games.

We are planing to complete the tournament in two weeks, but if anything comes up and some players can't complete their games in the given time period, we will evaluate the situation and possibly give more time. 

Current pairs are:

Maxamilion-Hermes3

Thell_Schmuch-StrategyKing420

Once players talk with their opponent and arrange their game schedule we will also announce it here. If you would like to watch any of the games, you are welcome to do so. 

I am wishing good games to all contenders , and lets enjoy it..

    Here is a latest report from Not So Fast New Channel:

    After blundering badly, Hermes got crushed at the first game of the tournament. In an interview he gave after the tournament he replied the reporters " The ash cloud prevented me seeing the board clearly. "

    We don't know how those ashes reached the virtual world of chess, but we are wishing good games to all players next round.
