Hi all,

I've created a group called "Wizards Of Oz".It's a group that is mainly aimed at having fun in the tourneys and is in no way created to interfere with your serious groups.So if any of you are interested in joining my little group then I'd be honoured and delighted to welcome you.

Thank you for allowing my indulgence and good luck with your chess.

Hi Guys,

I've had to cancel the previous Best of the Best Premium Players Tourney as the 2>1 format has turned out to be a disaster !!!! So I've slightly changed the format to make it 4>1 so that the tie-break facility will actually be of use.I apologise profusely if you were registered for the previous tourney but PLEASE register again for this one.I'll send invites out again.If you don't receive one then,once again,I apologise but you'll still be able to register.Thank you for understanding.

Mike in Oz (wallyjack) :-)

edit: SCRATCH THAT.  there is a glitch.

Hi Redspecial,

No mate it was all down to me,sorry!!! As for you thinking you'd broken something,then I would have if that 2>1 format had continued !!! :-) That format is so open to abuse  !!!! Thanks for your understanding and re-entering.

Phew, I thought I'd broken something when the tournament stopped! I'm sure it'll be even better second time around Wallyjack, thanks for organising this.
