I've been playing so many specialized little thematics, especially in queen-pawn openings... it's time for a little action on the more exciting side of the fence.  Fortes fortuna adiuvat.

1.e4, and you play it from there.  2 days/move, 80 players, groups of 5 with 1 advancing.  Should last a max of 3 rounds.  Enjoy!
