When this hits RHP it will not be rated initially, but I will record all games, so I can retrospectively apply a starting rating when ratings are introduced.
Good progress Russ...

Come on guys and gals!
This is as close to OTB play as many of us will ever be able to have together.

Clock/time restraints are adjustable. So please do not be dissuaded by the term "Blitz" chess.

This is a great idea!

This is also a grand opportunity to simulate Over-the-Board (OTB) play which, for most of us, has not been possible during this dastardly pandemic.

Not even close to OTB play wolfy!

Just fun and fast and you see a lot of big upsets from lower rated players who play it all the time, higher rated are use to much slower games which are thought out sometimes for days on here, which can go into months, some have had them going for years!!!

I use the enjoy the Real OTB Games 1 and a half hours for first 30 moves then an 1 hour to finish the game. That was back in the days I use to go to Chess Tournaments.

There are only three reasons that I think some might not at least "try" a Live-Play Tournament:

#1 - Lack of time. (Understandable)

#2 - Lack of experience. (Understandable)

#3 - Fear (Not understandable) 🤓
