MMA Tycoon $1m Chess Grandmaster Tournament

[GBK16]

THE MMA TYCOON $1m CHESS GRANDMASTER TOURNAMENT!

With a few of us recently playing games of chess against each other online, we figured a fun idea would be to run a Chess Tournament for MMA Tycoon players who would be interested. We use this site to play http://en.lichess.org/ as it is fast and easy to start a game and to spectate also. After talking to Wolf, we're throwing up a prize for the winner of the tournament also.

 

 

The winner of the tournament will receive $1 MILLION tycoon dollars, as well as a Custom Trophy we are hoping to have done soon enough.

 

Entry into this is FREE, so it's an easy chance for someone to have a bit of fun in the community, and to possibly earn a big prize. I'll have a chat with Mike to see if he would be willing to chuck a VIP prize at it also since I know he has done similar things in the past.

 

Post below if you are interested in joining, and we will have a deadline of this Friday, the 25th at 6pm GMT to sign up to it.

I don't think many of us actually play proper like. We have been using http://en.lichess.org/ this website. Quick + simple without having to sign up.

 

I think it's best if whoever is drawn together find an agreed upon time to have a game (within a certain time period so the tournament can move on) when they are both free, no time limits though imo.

I think you need a time limit like 10 min each person .That way the games will move along and 10 min is way more time then need to finish a game. 5 min would be ideal .To prevent cheating i suggest 3 min each person

ok let me blow the lit of this thing

 

get a fritz version, put it on very very fucking hard and do the moves you opponent does, you do the fritz moves lol

 

should get the wins

 

soo good point from itakebrides on the timelimit and cheating

I also play semi regularly on chess.com

 

There was a tournament a long time ago and a sequel which fizzled.

 

Anyway, sign me up.

I agree with this...actually with 10 min, cheating is already a big possibility. I favour 5 mins games too. ( just make it best of 5 matches or even best of 7 or 9 - could be whatever the players agree to with the minimum being 5)

 

just checked the lichess.org and it's a pretty clean, simple and fast chess place. Good to know. I guess I won't be going back to chess.com anymore
