This tournament is dedicated to one of the greatest chess masters ever, Paul Morphy.

Morphy enjoyed the Evans Gambit, but this game starts with the Morphy Attack variant of this Italian Game gambit.

This game should be fairly quick since it is almost ten moves complete, but ten days per move is allowed. No one with 10% or more timeouts will be entered into the tourney, and you must have played at least three games at chess.com. 1000+ rated players only, please. Game begins on Morphy's Birthday this year, June 22nd, 2009.

No mistake at all! I planned on having it begin in 2010, but if others want, we can have it begin on Morphy's B-Day this year....
