All players of any rating living in Europe can participate in this tounament. the idea is hopefully the weaker players can learn from the better ones by getting tips from their opponents how they can improve at the end of each game. So everyone can benefit!

This is the first tournament I'm creating, so any suggestion for improvements is welcome.

Best regards

Regis

At the current rate of players joining the tourney, it looks like it will be set to start earlier than I thought. 40 from 50 have already registered!!! I can already say that our next tournament will be for a greater number of players.

I wish you all good luck and hope that at the end of each game both players have benefited from the game!

i'm not currently looking for groups to join. actually i cannot find anything really good in joining a group. but i have a question: if i join the group, can i join in an other group as well or i have to withdraw from my current group and then join one else?

I'm asking because i joined chess.com in half of April so i don't know some things.
