Who's up for a chess tournament?!

[Litigator]

how will tournaments work?? I used to play on ICC but switched over to chess.com a while ago. I believe we can create a tournament but someone needs a membership, and change tourney to invite only? I can get one if needed,

Why not, I'll sign up.
I'm horrible with chess and haven't played in years but let's see what happens.

Me too, my friend

I'm considering getting the membership so the tourney can be held
I'm definitely saying invite only, so we definitely know who's who.

Hates you

I reckon we'll test the lichess tourney software before we do chess.com b/c lichess is free

https://en.lichess.org/tournament/new


I guess lichess then, it's free + available on all platforms. We'll have to organise a time then. these tournaments are live so they aren't those daily ones. For daily tournaments where one move takes 1 day to 14 days, we'll have to use chess.com and someone needs a premium membership for that

Interesting game. You had mate 10 moves prior.
 
Move 18. Knight takes h7 check with queen, then Queen g6 is mate

Yeah I definitely fucked some things... I have dilapidated thinking in the end game. I never really think "what's the quickest checkmate". I just sort of go through the motions of "he can't get me if I do this, and it would threaten him more so I'll do it". Even with material advantage on an open board I usually just push for a queen- getting an elegant checkmate definitely not my strong suit.
