Any guys attending? The last dutch championships was really nice. I expect Stef to be dominating there or Davio defending his title?
So if you have seen the link, what do you think about the pre rounds? I think it will be a mistake. I don' t think much people will go to a pre round tournament. Or at some location maybe turns up alot of people and at another location maybe 4 people. Not really fair imo
I’ve been reading a lot on the forums and noticed that there are some chess players. I am a chess player (around 1700) and love blitz and rapid chess.
So lately I am thinking it would be awesome to have some kind of tournament where you play some blitz games against each other and some Dominion games.
Format: Depending on how many players would like to play, I think the last IsoDom tournament had a nice format, a non-elimination Round Robin-type tournament. Splitting all the players into divisions (by continent if possible).
So I think it would be fun if you meet up with your opponent, you play, let’s say, 5 games of 5min. blitz chess and 5 games of (random kingdoms) Dominion. Combine the scores and you have a winner. (Or a draw) I think chesscube is a good free site to meet up to play the blitz games. One problem is that there are maybe great rank differences among chess players. A 2000 player could easily win with 5-0 to a 1300 player.
So, I would like to hear from you guys what you think about this kind of tournament. Is the time format a good format for the chess games? Is the amount of games good?
I also would like to know if there is enough interest to start a tournament like this.
