For the 5th Intermediate Chess Tournament, I decided to make 9 groups of 9 people, instead of 10x10, and eliminate 2 people for every person who advances to the next round. In other words, it will allow 3 out of 9 to advance every round, which will create even groups of 9 every round until the final round, inclusive.
The rest of the rules will remain the same as the #4:
No vacation time, so don't enter unless you truly believe that you will be able to make a move once a day
<5% timeout
<6 hrs average time per move
So this is a fast moving tournament, and it should produce quick results
I hope that everyone truly enjoys playing in #5, and learns a lot from each other's skills and abilities!

And we're off!
It looks as though the tournament has started and it's going to be a good one. To my dismay, I forgot to enter my own tournament! But that shouldn't stop this tournament from providing some masterful play from many players. Anyway, I would like to invite all of you to the next intermediate chess tournament, and I encourage many of you to enter, since I will be entering this time :)
