Just curious: will there also be tourneys for those with usernames starting with numbers? Seems kinda disciminatory if you're not.

Because I'm working my way through the alphabet. 'D' is #4 in our alphabet.

That's the idea,Dick,but with some of the asthmatic snails that play in my tourneys,present company excluded,I've pencilled in the Grand Final for sometime in 2012 !!!!

Thanks for the invite - what a bizarrely wonderful idea!!!

Are all the winners of the individually lettered tournaments going to battle it out to find out which is the best letter on chess.com?

GREAT!!! My first trny! I asked my brother recently if he knew of any that we may enter. He told me that he thought the trnys were finished. I'm really excited and look forward to a real learning experience. Good luck to all and have fun.

ps...If anybody wants a good practice game then I'm available...Lord knows I need the help.
