Announcing the 2022 (Fourth) Online World 4 Player Chess FFA/Solo Championship (DISCUSSION)

Yes, I don't think the 1500s would have enough strength to bear it.

Correction: the W4SCC doesn't have the strength to bear the 1500s

Needless to say this qualifier was...😑

"The winner must cease to play further arenas." : WHAT IF he doesn't? (even inadvertently). What is the sanction? (Yes, it happened the last year, hence my question).

How is that a good correction? I feel it’s the wrong way to say it. It’s not the W4SCC which is the player, it’s the 1500s which aren’t strong enough.

Can someone tell me how to get in a game with only 1500s so I can rack up those streaks and not get kingmaked, thanks

If I win it, I shall sincerely ask Chess.com to keep their bucks, I do not need 1000 nor even 10000 USD. But to invest into a new server for 4p chess, a good one. 

To have 1500/2200 players is a total nonsense, it makes the results irrelevant and unfair.

(I mean, the results should depend only on players' skills, not on the simple luck/unluck: how many low level players you have and how they are disposed around the board. Some players win easily/fast and pass to another game and accumulate points, whereas some others are stuck in long much higher level games and waste time and are far from being able thus to be qualified as there is only one place for that. It becomes a lottery. You have an idiot in front who attacks you, you're 4th or you attack a side and the opp doesn't understand what's on and you lose your Q, etc. Total BS and waste of time).

Absolutely true.

@fourplayerchess

The fact that I recognize only half of those players and the fact that almost every player has 0 points is distressing, is it not?

WASN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN TO 2200+ ONLY NOW?

https://www.chess.com/variants/old-standard/game/27284169

still a 1500 seen!

and not at all a player with an account created before May 2022.
WHAT'S ON?

I do NOT understand.

The Tournament rules are not being respected. 

Cf. the 4th qualifier.

Several recent players and several players under 1500 are taking part. Which makes it absolutely unfair. Winners are quite often mainly lucky (me included, twice) and I think everybody would recognise that's not the way it should be.

https://www.chess.com/variants/old-standard/game/27288342/301/1

Well, guess I’ll play again and see if the situation is improved with 2200+

Due to incidents resulting in forfeitures/disqualifications, several changes to the players advancing to the prelims have been addressed.
