Thematic Daily Tourney

Should we have a thematic daily tourney? Regular daily tourney?

I was also thinking I could analyze any games that people want me to analyze, though that takes a long time...

Any ideas?

regular daily tourney - we are still a small club, so i believe that we should start with the basics

 

Avatar of mathninja20

we should create an intra-club tourney with abt 16-24 spots

I was thinking of making it thematic to include specific openings that people have an interest in. Say London system or Sicillian etc.

also does anyone know if tourneys can be in knock-out format

Avatar of mathninja20

pepl have different interests, and the audience would likely be small. Not a bad idea, but perhaps a little to early

yes, maybe a bit early for that

Maybe make a post in the main club asking people which is the openings they would prefer to practice and even if we only have say 12 in each one it doesn't matter

tbh, i would rather have more ppl participate then have exotic options that only a few ppl are in

I will make a poll

OK but I thought if we are a training group then why not do it this way and provide a few resources for people to study that opening. 

Avatar of mathninja20

for such a small group, general analysis with an instructor is better... if there are not many people to train with then creating an activity for a large group won't work
