In about five minutes, the unique Remco Heite Chess Tournament starts. Unique, firstly because of the players in the invitation group: Vlastimil Hort, Robert H?ɬºbner, Artur Jussupow, Jan Timman, Loek van Wely and Jan Werle. Secondly because of the rate of play: 1 hour and 45 minutes for 35 moves and then 15 minutes for the rest of the game. (From that perspective, they look like games from a club night competition!) Chatting about the games is possible this weekend at this site!

The tournament only takes this weekend. The playing schedule:

First round (Friday 24 November 2006, 19.00?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú23.00 hrs) H?ɬºbner-Jussupow Van Wely-Hort Timman-Werle

The games can be followed live here. That hyperlink can also be found on the right, in the grey column, where there will be a small chat screen as well during this weekend, where you can talk about the games! Because of spam (really) I had to remove the live shoutbox.
