Hi my friends,
This is the 4th in a new series of Great Battles In History,as the 1st series was so well supported I've decided to run a 2nd series with different battles and "No Vacation".This one is for players rated 1368-1500 and any entrants over 1500 AT THE START OF THIS TOURNEY WILL BE REMOVED AND INVITED TO JOIN THE APPROPRIATE TOURNEY FOR THEIR NEW RATING WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
The format is 64/100 players,4/group,3 days/move,2 concurrent games/opponent,2 to advance from each group unless there are ties then all tied players will advance to the next round,and a No Vacation tourney.
If you'd like to join a great group that's run by a top bloke (LOL) then I heartily suggest that you join Wallyjack's United Nations For Chess.Here is the link:-

Good luck with your chess and have fun,
Mike (wallyjack)



Thank you
Congratulations to BobSaid,Pavel_KV & mohkali56 who finished equal 1st and 3rd in this tourney,but a HUGE "THANK YOU" to each and every one of you who entered this tourney,without your participation there would have been no tourney and I look forward to greeting all of you in my future tourneys.
