This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

Hi my friends,

I've decided to stage another series of "Great Battles Of History" as these tourneys seem particularly popular and give you a little history fact:-

18 July 1195 – Almohad victory over Alfonso VIII of Castile.

So this is the 1st in the series and the format is; 100 mighty players rated up to 1195,4 players/group,3 days/move,2 concurrent games/opponent,2 to advance from each group,unless there are ties and then ALL tied players will advance to the next round,and is "NO VACATION".

Any players over 1195 AT THE START OF THE TOURNEY will be removed and,whenever possible,will be invited to the appropriate tourney for their new rating.

I'll start this tourney on mon 27/4/15 or if we get 100 ELIGIBLE players,whichever is the sooner.

Please enter,try your best,but,most of all,have lots of enjoyment and fun from playing your chess games!

Mike (wallyjack)
