Gng too smelly really 😭😭💀

There's 3 people already, I think 4 is enough for a tourney if everyone plays each other

Just play it on chess.com and set it up on a real board if u would like? I feel like thats much simpler

Yeah... but I don't want you to analyse on the 2d board at all

Is it possible to do 90+30 in that blindfold version?

It probably is i dont see a reason it isnt

U can also set the peices to blindfold without going to the variants section

Oh nice let's do that then

I’ve never tried classical before, and I would like to, but I don’t have an otb rating so I can’t join this (or the free time) cool idea though. Too smelly though.

doesn’t otb mean “over the board”

am I too low elo to understand this

Yeah but I'm not travelling to Saudi to play him 💀

By OTB I just mean we play on a real board and make it 90+30 lol

I could if i have the time

I'm just gonna take that as a yes 😎

Do you and lightning wanna arrange a date where you're both free? I'll give lightning white ig

Do you have an OTB rating btw? (or a rough estimate of it)

I'm gonna give lightning a fake otb rating based on the tourney

If i win every single game do I get a GM norm by chance?

Can't replicate the feeling of playing OTB online even if time control is the same, playing 90+30 online is just boring but when your sitting on the board time slips like sand

My recommendation is to just take a shower and play a real tournament

I know it's not the same but he can't play OTB so it's better than nothing

We're using real boards at least

You mean your playing on boards at home and just making the moves online?

Yeah 💀 I have a dgt board so it's easy for me at least

I might also put a picture of an Egyptian on my laptop so I can pretend I'm playing him

I'm thinking of putting a Salah pic up
