Tournament set up.

https://www.chess.com/tournament/stw-christmas-24/join/a3d78f

Two groups of 5 players at present. Top 3 go through to final.

There is space for more players.  I will wait until Monday before starting it in case anyone hasn’t seen this topic yes.

As before all players should have a message in their chess.com inbox with a link to click to join the tournament.

I am not sure if clicking the link above will also let invited players join.

vince2638 please.

@vinnyeh

Should have invite in your chess.com messages

Yes please – hopefully I’ll do better than 0-5 like last year …

Pkgelliott is my username

just tried the link, and I think it’s added me already – ta.

Final bump for anyone that hasn’t seen the thread before it starts at 0900 tomorrow – Monday.

@dti

@scotroutes

@RamseyNeil

@cteagles

Invites still pending. I have delayed start until tomorrow. If still wishing to take part click link in chess.com messages

@irc – my post was an attempt at humour. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

1. No probs. I thought it was but when I checked there was a chess.com player  with the username you gave.

Apologies! Invite accepted now

Damn it, I just read that as Christmas Cheese.

I’m out.

@jimbob99 – See my posts above 🙂

Very much enjoying it so far. Behind in two games, ahead in one and nip and tuck in the rest. Thanks for organising, even though you’re about to inflict my first defeat. (-:

Getting absolutely taken apart by IRC here. The only thing to cling onto in the first one was he missed a fork with a Knight on 2 rooks. I mean it would only have meant I resigned a few turns earlier…
