Would anybody like to get involved in a 'live chess' ladder tournament. The purpose of the tournament would be to help improve our 'live chess' skills in a relaxed and fun ongoing tournament. I suggest games are unrated, 15/10.

The format:

Any player may challenge any other player in the ladder as long as both players are not already in a challenge as you can only be involved in one challenge at a time. You must accept a challenge if you are free.

You have a week to play your games when the challenge is issued.

You play 2 games, preferably together, one as white and one as black. If the lower player wins then the players swap places, if the higher player wins or it's a draw, there is no change in positions.

You cannot challenge the same player twice until you have played someone else.

You cannnot challenge anyone for 24 hours after a completed match.

At the end of each month the player at the top of the ladder receives a trophy.

That's it really, if you want to join please post below.

You can join and leave the ladder at any time.

Respect your fellow players. If you arrange a time try to make it but if you can't that's ok, just post your challenger a note. Try not to 'no show'. Be nice and friendly, win and lose graciously.

Friend others in the ladder to make it easier to meet up.

Cheers DJ

How to meet up and play 'live chess':

1. Make sure you are friends, it's easier to find each other.

2. You must be in 'live chess' at the same time, taking timezone differences into account if necessary.

3. If you are the challenger (avoids confusion to who is to do this bit) click the 'friends' tab in the bottom right box and you should see your opponent there.

4. Select them and choose 'challenge to a game' you will then have some game options. Make sure you select unrated, 15/10 and random colour for the first game, then click 'create game'.

5. If you want to play the next game straight away then just select 'rematch' at the end to play the 2nd game and it will automatically swap colours. If you want to play the 2nd game another time, you can choose which colour the challenger should be in the game options when you meet up and set the game up.
