Please having fun in this tournament~  All games must start with dragon variation or acclerated dragon.  Good luck for all the warriors who participate in this tournament.  You will be either a knight who fights the dragon or a dragon who fights the mortal.  However, no princess as reward, sorry about that.

I want to apologize to those who can't get play the dragon variation or accelerated dragon.  This is my first time to start a tournament and I have no idea this will happen.  I will improve and be more specific next time. I still hope all of you can keep playing in this tournament.

2. Qf3 isn't the dragon.  The game says all games must start with dragon variation or accelerated dragon.  To me that means black must at some point play g6 then Bg7.  I have had a few games where opponents haven't played this, but in my opinion if the starting position isn't preset then there isn't anything that should be done about it.

Hi. Three of my opponents have not played the dragon eg 2. Qf3. Do I continue the game or will they be void?
