To break this inactivity I'm creating a live chess tournament. You need to arrange a time to play your opponent then play at any time control you guys wish, you can even make it 2 of 3 if you like. (If a draw or a win then draw for 2 of 3, keep playing until someone wins.) I need at least 8 people, more will be appreciated. Sign up by posting "Me!" below in the comments. Admins and SAs can play as well! THIS WILL BE IN DOUBLE ELIMINATION FORMAT! Once you finish a game you need to post the link(s) to the game(s) so I can verify the result. 1.

Hello Every One, We are thinking of joining the Chess Olympics. what do you guys think? Here is the Desciption about Chess Olympics. The chess olympics are basicly just like the olympics, held right here on chess.com! Different chess.com teams will replace the countries, to compete in a Team Match tournament. For the group events there are only a few things you should know. If you are interested in reading more please continue on in this message OR check the link: If you wish to enter your team in any of the events that involve teams (#1-4) please reply to this message and specify which (remember join as many as you wish.). Then please join this team:In order to keep track of things. Please note that anyone playing in the games is advised to join and an admin/ SA from your group MUST join as well to keep up with things. We are starting the group sign up ASAP for different events so please be aware. If you wish to join a certain section in an event you need to specify this with me too. If you think this team will not be ready, or you don’t want to enter this team then you can always feel free to nominate your own team of 300 members or more just reply to this message with the new team and the events you are joining. Also please note we can only accept between 10 - 20 teams (but we may accept more if needed) So hurry up, submit your teams, ask your teams, do what you have to and sign up ASAP. Thanks for considering Joining! There will be a Team Match Tournament. This will not be just any team match but a special tournament to go along with it. There will be a list of different teams that join and each team will be split into a division (based on teams average rating) and paired one round at a time. This tournament will be an elimination eventso remember to play hard! From there each team will fight to the top until only 2 remain. Here is what the match will look like: Match Name: Chess Olympics: ____ vs. ___ round_____ days per move: 3 Rating: UNDER 1200, UNDER 1600, & OPEN (Please note your team can enter all, 2 or 1 of the sections if they want) Minimum games: 1 or 2 Players per Team: 10-25ish Concurrent Games: 1 Auto Start: no (Olympic officials decide when to start) Rated: Yes 2. There will be a VC tournament With a 2-3 day/ vote time limit. This will also be based on teams average rating. (Please note that this event may or may not happen depending on if there are enough sign ups) 3. There will be an optional Chess960 team match to enter as well. Any team can enter this tournament AND the standard or just one. The settings will be the same as above. 4. Tactic Battle: This event will test your teams knowledge of tactics. There will be a forum post with questions and your team must answer them. please note: All events above are optional to participate in. Entering your team means you want to join 1 or more of the above. THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT INCLUDE TEAMS. INDIVIDUAL GAMES: 5. There will also be an individual member tournament.

We will post the pairings and pair you with someone else to play either 1 OR best 2 of 3 blitz game. Then you will report the results. You must find time to play the game. (5 minutes or 10 Minutes (players can agree) Rated or unrated. 8. A possible Live Chess bullet tournament may also take place This will be best 2 of 3. (1 minute) Rated or unrated. 9. Instead of the team VC tournament there may be a large vote chess game. We will split people up into 2 groups and they will join the group they are put in. They will play in a VC game against the other group and when that is done we will take the winners and then split them up and so on until we have 5 vs. 5. OTHER ITEMS: To bring togeter different people and teams one BIG VOTE CHESS game will be played (this will be about a 3, 5, or 7 day game (TBD). It will be everyone on that team VS The Chess Computer (type not decided yet, but hopefully it will be HARD!! Then there will be FREE game analysis to anyone after the TM, or member tournament (normal or 960) -details on that later VC games will be analyzed immediately after. Trophies will be given to winning players and team members. (other prizes TBD)

REAL GAME OF MINE

To make sure we get rid of all rogue voters, we will enforce that you: Do not vote until 35 hours are left (unless, the captain/admin says that you can, due to easy move(s) Make sure you post your thought on a move, so you can vote for it (It doesn't even have to be the best move, if you like it, and share your thoughts, you have every right to vote for that move) After you vote, copy and paste your GREEN BAR , that says your vote (or do it later on, but it HAS to be before the end of the move limit) [If you have just an ipad, you may message us that you do and write your vote, however, to make sure that is true, you must put the # of other votes on moves, showing that you really did vote for that move] if the game is 2 days, then it will be 24 and with 24 hour games it will be 12 , but for more than 3 days it will be 30 Failure to do this will result in this wil result in: First you will be warned [Once for each new vc game], ( if the move is still going on, they are still expected to paste their vote, even if they rogue voted, if it isn't, then they are free until the next move where they will be expected to paste) If you are caught again, you will removed from the game, simple If you are caught again for the second time,you will be removed from that game and you won't be allowed to join another vc for two more vc games [Meaning once 2 new vc games are finished](However if you are in other vc games, you will not be removed) If you are caught once more , you will be BANNED from joining any more vc games for the next 5 vc games Any more getting caught, you wil be banned for a year, or if neccessary, forever(Given the fact if you don't prove yourself once again) Copy and pasting is now expected for all members except the admins/captains This will be enforced once a new vc game is begining and afterwards

Can anybody tell a lie but very near the truth? Only for fun. The nearer to the truth the funnier. Can you?
