Stop number two in our journey around the world! This time we head to Latvia, to play a sharp, and often tricky opening. If you missed the first stop, that's fine, all are welcome to join us as we continue to move forward. Please keep all hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times!
This tournament will start on Friday, Aug. 29, 2008, at midnight Pacific. All I ask is that everyone have fun!
Please note: for those of you who may not have ever played in a thematic tournament, the first few moves are already played for you, as that is the only way to ensure that everyone sticks to the specific opening that this tournament is set to explore.
