Honest Chess League 1 (Round 1)
My Dear Chess Friends!
I'm glad to announce that we start our Honest Chess League Tournament. I'm sure that all measures I took, will prevent cheating in this tournament. Anyway, I want to ask you play FAIR!
Please, find the list of participants and pairings for the 1st round. Every Monday I publish new pairings in our group on Chess.com. Don't forget to visit it at least weekly.
During this week (until 11th of October) your task is to negotiate with your opponent, schedule the game and play it on lichess.org or chess.com
Time control: 45'+30"
Please, send the link to this game to my e-mail: tricksofchess@gmail.com
IMPORTANT! Last day to play the game of the 1st round is Sunday 11th October. Any games that are not played until Monday (12th of October) will be cancelled and both players get "0".
