2024 Special: Below 1925 online tournament

[paulwise3]

Hi Paul

Tournament looks to be shaping up great

When the tournament begins please post the games and results in our "Tournaments and Games" section of the forum

Housekeeping Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanx for the housekeeping .
Indeed I did not think of posting the games in that section, because the last tournaments we played, we did everything in the Main Lobby.
Apparently insights have changed!
When we start the tournament I will open a tournament thread in the "Tournaments and Games" section.

Best regards, Paul

Do you play with real computers or with CB-Emu?

Do you play with real computers or with CB-Emu?

In principle we play with real chess computers, but when you do not have a computer that fits in de elo-range 1800 - 1925, you could choose for an emulation, but be sure that you let it play at the original speed!

I just bought a Fidelity Elite A/S (obviosuly the Glasgow Version with 4 MHz) via Ebay. If I am not a victim of fraud and the device arrives intact, I could theoretically play the first game from around the middle of next week . Lichess Account: Tsch3ns. I am not at all familiar with Lichess so far.
If I am too late, feel free to go ahead without me.

Hi,
I reviewed the Lichess accounts Jürgen kindly listed; couldn't find yours? Maybe worth double checking...

Hello Paul and dear participants,
I've just read about this tournament, thanks to one of you.
I would really love to play, too.
Please let me have a look which computer to play with.
Great idea and great initiative, Paul!

Hi Steffen,
Nice to see you appear!
And yes, you are welcome. I plan to make a tournament scheme on Friday.
With 12 participants it will be a great tournament again!
But until then new participants are still welcome of course

Best regards,
Paul

Hi all,

It seems I miscounted: we have only 11 participants, and I thought there were 12 .
So if not another particpant shows up, maybe someone would like to play with a second machine?
If not, we just play with 11, that is not a big problem.

Best regards, Paul
