Chess Tourney
« on: August 01, 2007, 02:25:47 PM »
Hey, I was wondering how many people likes the idea of an inter-NS chess tourney or just one amongst ourselves? You know, to foster good relations, have a bit of fun, and all that good stuff...

I think it's a fabulous idea, personally!  If enough people here are interested, we could start feeling out some of our allies to see if they'd like to participate.  Potentially, we could have our Ambassadors post invitations in our Embassies in other regions letting them know it's an open tourney.  I'd love to put something like this together, perhaps in The Zocalo.

Are Tai-money prizes a good idea? O:-)

Oh, I definitely think so!  Hmm... do you think a small entrance fee -and- a prize?  Or is that too much?

Would this be done by posting moves (Q4 > K2) or would you use a 3rd party program like Yahoo Chess?

That sounds like exactly enough!  Mayhap we could waive or lower the entrance fee for "foreigners" to encourage inter-regional participation?

I was thinking with a 3rd party program. 3 come to mind, though I know there's gotta be more.

Yahoo Chess: Only need a free account to play, no downloads except java which most people should already have.
Arcadia's Syn-Chess: Arcadia is a game which you have to download (for free) which contains a variety of games called Toys, one of which being chess. It lets multiple tables be set up so multiple games can be played at once without a bunch of screens floating around.
Ijji's chess proggy: ijji.com has some sort of chess game, but I've never played it so idk how it works.


Problem with the Tai prize is that if an international tourney is done, not just within Taijitu, not everyone is going to be registered here.

Why will they?

If you're not active here, a Tai prize is useless. So the Tai prize is really only good for Taijitu members.

They will become active so they can use their Tai better. When they realise they can't, they'll be trapped forever!
