Round 2 Starting Soon
How quick are the rounds going to be? My games against you are still in the opening stage.
That being said I'm not opposed to playing multiple rounds at once. I just don't want round 3 to begin before I've even finished my round 1 games.

The rounds were supposed to be once every 2 weeks. That was from post #7. If you have problems with that, you should have talked to me beforehand.
That being said I will change the rules a little bit since I understand the rules are not ok with everyone. Here are the new rules:
Round 2 will start today no matter what.
Round 3 games will start when half of the games from Round 1 are complete.
Round 4 games will start when half of the games from Round 2 are complete.
Round 5 games will start when half of the games from Round 3 are complete.
I understand it feels wrong to start all the rounds all at once, so this is my compromise.

Ok, I didn't see post #7 before. Thats fine.
Possible Variations for round 2:
Capablanca's Chess
Janus Chess
Almost Chess
Chigorin Chess
Superqueen Chess (I and II)
Nightrider Chess (I, II, III)
Grasshopper Chess
Gothic Chess (NEW)
Augmented Knight (NEW)
Note: I added Gothic Chess and Augmented Knight because they add more variety to the round and make it more interesting. These variants weren’t mentioned in my original post, so I am sorry if this seems misleading. However, since my original post, I have had a change of mind about the variants I wanted to include for Round 2.
Pairings for Round 2:
Player 1 acts as the challenger. They must challenge their opponent on the Green Chess website to 2 games of Wide Chess 12 (one white and one black). The deadline for Player 1 to challenge their opponent is April 18th 2025.
Player 2 acts as the acceptor. They must accept their opponent’s challenge. The deadline for Player 2 to do this is April 21st 2025.
I will keep track of any ongoing games from the tournament here:
