are you tired of all the arguments about high raters using engines to cheat. about losing on time affecting ratings. and any of the other endless concerns driven by ratings.

Well here is the answer. An unrated tournament open to all. So no rating worries. no fears of engines being used to improve ratings.

Just chess played for the pure enjoyment of the game.
