Anyone up for another tournament?
Thinking 2 days per move. Hopefully mostly faster but no time pressure for anyone who has a busy day in real life.
Anyone interested reply with Chess.com username.
Count me in please - KevinPhilipsBong
Yeah, been a while since I last got battered in a tournament, count me in - aide46
Yes please “richwales”

Side note: Singletrack tournament #1 is STILL ongoing! Potentially (and probably ironically) could end up in a multi-way tie in the final round.
Are 'vibrating devices' banned?

@irc - you may need to alter the settings, I get a message saying Tournament Full when I try to accept the invite.
Sorry! My mistake. Group size 9 was set the same as tournament size. Tournament corrected to max 18. Two groups of up to 9. A few spaces left at the oment.

In one of my current games my opponent in the Stafford Gambit though he was trapping my bishop then got mated in 15 the next move. First time I have delivered checkmate with 2 bishops.

Cheers. Thanks for arranging this.
Yes thanks
Here comes the blunder bus
Having not played any chess in ages, I'm thoroughlyy enjoying STW-T10. Thanks again irc and everyone else playing : )
As STW 10 is well under way and only a few games left is there any interest in an STW 10A for the players dropping out in Round 1. Gets them more games while STW 10 finishes. And more games with players of similar gradings.
Speaking of gradings I'm in a couple of non STW touraments with quite a few players graded under 1000 who are playing unbelievably solid. I see my grading dropping a but after a few of those results.
PS Posted in the other Chess thread - but anyone interested in a book for openings aimed at the lower graded player/beginner I can recommend one I just bought second hand. Had it years ago. A selection of common openings with move by move explanation. Out of print but around £5 delivered, second hand on Amazon.
