Welcome to CHB's first ever online chess tournament!
We will use lichess.org to conduct our games. However, as a result of time differences I think it's best if we use lichess' editor tool to play some games.
https://lichess.org/editor
How does that work?
-Whoever is white moves first
-white then copies the url and pastes it on here like so;
https://lichess.org/editor/rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/4P3/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR_w_KQkq_-_0_1
-as you can see I've moved the prawn forward winks
-then black simply opens the same url, takes his or her (lol) move, copies the new url and pastes it on here again
Why can't we just play normally ura?
Well you can of course. The editor is just there for games where it's difficult for both players to commit to a few hours of chess, as we all know everyone has different schedules. Use lichess to conduct your games if you can, if not just use the editor as stated above.
Can I take a screenshot of the board instead of the url?
Do what you like for fuck sake.
What about trolls who post suggestions or interfere with the games?
Anyone who interferes with someone else's game will be banned. It's simple; this is a gentleman's game, if you think it's ok as an adult to go up to two men playing chess and ruin their game you are a knobhead and also retarded. Go be retarded in another thread.
I'll seed you all based on how good you are. I think @DynamicMoves is very good so he'll be number 1 seed going into the tournament.
I play occasionally with my girl so I'm about low/medium level. For the purposes of this thread dynamicmoves is Grandmaster level.
Grandmaster/Queen's Gambit
Competent
Beginner
Post if you'd like to join. I hope we get a least...4 members joining. Ideally more. Even if you don't play chess it's just a bit of fun.
Edit: Confirmed players

Update:
The rules have been decided;
-30 minute games
This is to allow some of the beginner level players more time to not feel too overwhelmed as games that end too quick teach the loser very little imo
-no increments
Any player that can't play their game for whatever reason etc will forfeit their match.
