2ND CHESS FRIENDS OF THE WORLD DCCC -9/9/2017
With Michael's High Performer tournament coming to an exciting end in the next few weeks, I thought it might appropriate to gage the interest in having another 1 Weekend Swiss Tournament as we had in 2015, which you can read about here:

Steffen mentioned to me today about how much he enjoyed this Live one Weekend Online tournament and wished we could play another one soon.
Therefore this resulted in this post to gage the interest.
Just like last time it would be a 5 or 6 round International Swiss Tournament with perhaps 3 games played on a Saturday and 3 games on a Sunday. An even number of rounds is preferred as it makes it easier to schedule without having create bye's for contestants.
The last time we held it in November which was not so good in timing as valuable members such as Steve B was tied up with work at that time, so this year I would propose to do it a little earlier like perhaps August or early September, or any other time that suits the majority.
if you are interested then please respond to this post. Also please indicate the strength category we should play as your preference.
Trust me this tournament is not for the faint hearted as it is a hectic weekend but everyone who played last time had a lot of fun.
And we will go from there.... best regards

Hi Steffen,steffen wrote:Nick, I fully agree.
As you mentioned in your statement this was the most exciting online tournament I´ve ever played.
I would participate, for sure. I don´t care which weekend (except the last weekend in October --> Kaufbeuren).
Great that makes two of us now. We just need to find some more people
Southeastern USA and Germany are now represented!
Best regards
Nick
