This tournament is for individuals that like to take their time, relax and enjoy chess. If you want to study your opponent's move from every angle then feel free to do so. A matter of fact you have 14 days to do so. That not enough time, then you may use vacation time to study it some more. Stop and smell the roses as you traverse your way through 18 games of pure relaxing chess bliss(even more if you advance). If you are a busy person that cannot get in front of your computer to play chess, no hurry in this tournament, finish that report and make your boss and/or customer happy. The games will be there when you return. There are plenty of tournaments for the speed freaks that can't seem to wait till the next move. They can have it. I'll take my chess with a relaxing beverage and no rush. Of course if you would like to move quickly then you may, just don't assume your opponent will do the same. In all seriousness feel free to join whatever speed you like to play and I hope you all enjoy. It will start when it fills up, no rush.
Good luck to all!!!!
I want to thank everyone for joining my first tournament. I am amazed that it filled up so quickly, especially with the long time limit. Please feel free to send me a friend request so that I may invite you to my tournaments in the future if you haven't already. I hope everyone enjoys their games and wish the best of luck to all participants. May the person that plays the best chess win!
