This tournament is open to all players.

Fo those of us involved with the Dark Knight returns boondoggle Redemption! This tournament is for players who had to forfeit games in Billium's The Dark Knight Returns  (and open to anyone else who has made a move that they regretted) due to the failure of many of us to overcome our natural desires and make the black N start requested and required. In this tournament you can make any moves that chess.com will allow. Cheers and good luck!

As the blue eyed Chairman might say, "Regrets, I've had a few..."

This sounds like a fun tournament. Almost makes me wish I'd been part of the original boondoggle.

Thanks. Michael

I'm sorry Amac, I really am.  I see Abstinence over here already too.  I'm sorry to both of you, and anyone else who finds their way over here.  I can give you a list of forfeits if you want to send personal invites.  Why don't you post a notice about it on the tournament homepage, or the blog page?  I'm sure you'll get some takers.

You don't mind if I join too, do you?  I've been trying to whittle my games in progress down to a reasonable number again, but when I saw this tourney, that plan obviously went out the window.

GREAT IDEA!!!
