I’d play in my full strength. Let’s end the year on a strong chess note!
Super to hear that.
Thursday, the first of its kind. Let's go.
Maybe first win for you in Chess960 Tournament.
😅
That would not be so bad.
Great! I will try to bepresent although this time the early start of the tournament is challenging for me
You can be late 5 minutes. 👍🙂
Greetings, I will try to participate, thank you
Sounds like a good plan.
I would make sure to be there!!
Super. Dont miss it.
Hi @sammy00, I am looking forward to this tournament. Temporarily I cannot play standard chess (blitz/rapid) but I am sure in a short period of time I will return to a normal level of blitz for me.
I expect to be in the top 15th or better...😀
Good to hear that. So after some time we should play together this tournament.
Chess960 is warm up until you are back at blitz/rapid format.
