This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

I will award the winners of each group in round three a one-month Diamond membership here on chess.com!

Please read the description!

  • Rating range 1600-2000
  • All time high must be < 2100
  • You will play up to 7 games at a time in this event.
  • Vacation time is not allowed.

 

This tournament is designed to create a good competition in the mentioned rating range. The main idea is to have an event where you are as long as possible still in the race for the top 3 spots.

If you like to show your best against an equal, balanced field and have tough and close matches, this is the place to be!


I want to keep away players who try to manipulate their rating down, so they can play in limited events.

For this reason I will remove players from the registration list if their all time high exceeds 2100 or for any other reason when I think a player is too strong for this event.

I will also remove players before the start of the event if their timeout ratio is too high.

 

I hope you enjoy a competitive tournament, have fun and good luck to all the players!

Hello friends,

I just started the tournament. Please respect your opponent, have a nice chat or at least say HELLO at the start of every game.

 

I would like to have no timeouts and I hope that all players try their best to complete all the games. Enjoy some tough competition!

 

Thanks for joining my tournament, have some fun and play well!
