1st tournament (4 players, double Round Robin, 1 game every 2 weeks) Apr 25 - Jul 17 (FINISHED)

Hello Karpov1a, opto_007, Thalapathy_64

Ok we have 4 members. The club hopefully will be expanded with more members in near future. I prefer small but solid dedicated members though.

Let's start our first tourney of 90m+30s.

We will make it double round robin, each play each other with W & B.   The time span for 1 round to be finished is 2 weeks.  You and your opponent will negotiate the best time to play - you will post the agreed time in comment section, and also the result of game afterward along with game link.

I make it 2 weeks time span to finish a round, to make you easier to find good time.

Note : in 90m+30s, you must be ready to allocate at least 4 hours of time, because assuming that if both of players use almost all his time plus 30s increment.

Another note :  the pairing schedule below is not strictly binding - I mean if the 2 players can't find the good time to play in any particular round, they can delay it to another week/ so. or vice versa if some players would like to play any particular round earlier than the schedule , it is fine too.  I expect all games will be finished by July 17th though.

Please just write in comment section :  Rd .... ,     .... vs ... is scheduled for ......   (date).
