As STW tournament 1 drags on, Tournament 3 is finished and tournament 2 is about to end. Last game in final stage.

https://www.chess.com/tournament/stw-chess-club-t2/pairings/3

Any love for a 4th tournament? Same idea as 2 and 3 as in 1 move per day to keep things moving.

Maybe 2 days per move though?

I seem to have missed the existence of tournament 3. Count me in for 4 if it happens - chess.com user Xebeq.

I'll have a go again please, been enjoying it even with all the beatings 😄

2 days per move would suit me too

I'd be up for that too. Ideally quicker time limits though. Quite how some people can do one move every 48hrs is beyond me. A couple of games in some of those previous tournaments lasted months!

Make move.
Opponent waits 47.5hrs, moves.
You move.
47.5hrs later...

I’d be up for it. 24hrs should be the max tho. Ideally a total game clock too to keep all games under a week! It’s ridiculous that the 1st tournament is still ongoing 😂

I think 1 day per move should be enough time and it will keep games moving. To allow for things like overnights in the hills with no internet access I will leave the vacation option open. So if you can not make a move within 24hrs you have the option to pause your games.

https://support.chess.com/article/624-how-does-vacation-work-how-much-time-do-i-get

If you pay an annual or monthly subscription you get auto vacation so Chess.com pauses your games if you are going to lose on time.

Aye, there have definitely been some looooonnnng games. Reckon it’s like driving speed limits - some people see them as limits, some as targets!

OK. Invites sent. Everyone should have either an email or message on Chess.com with a link to click to accept invite.

25 players so far. Max group size is 7. So space for 3 more if any one else is interested.

Top 3 go through to round 2 from each group. I'll give it until Friday for any more interest.

Bugger, it's telling me that I can't join as I have too many timed out games in the last 90 days. That was from a tournament I joined and then when it started I found it was some weird format with pieces in all the wrong places so I just let the games expire.

Didn't realise it would then stop me joining any other tournaments. I'm on the naughty step!

Should be a setting on the tournament that @irc can change to allow you to join regardless.
