What is the point of this? Erik has said more than once that he was planning on adding these in the future, it's just a matter of getting the technical details worked out... so why bother with this thread?


Positive feedback makes people happy.

Knowing that something challenging to do and which you are working hard on is vigorously approved of is positive feedback.

 

+1 to live tournaments!    Yay Erik!

count me in too Cool I would LOVE live chess tournaments considering I play live chess all the time.

Live tournaments are far more dynamic than online tourneys.  Live chess is a better indicator of strength.  I once made a topic hear about how crappy live chess was at this site; however, the group here has really made some great adjustments for the members. 

Great job Chess.com, keep innovating!

I sometimes find myself just wandering around on the site (like right now) and if there were live chess tournaments it would keep me occupied and I can also improve my chess!

I vote for it (and would anybody who's against it bother to vote??) I want to say to ther gays who are working hard on this that their efforts will be paid with great joy of chess players once the tournaments get started.

Way to go, chums, keep the good work.
