BB #2

Blind Bandits is returning to the scene! Round 1 starting at Oct 16.
I copied some stuff from earlier posts, not much has chanced anyway.

Though initially set up for TeamLeague, this platform is now surving a new purpose. Rather than trying to fill up whole team competition, an individual blindfold tourney will be held throughout the next couple of months. The format will still be similar, but less tight.

The intention is to play 5 rounds of 35 35, with 1 game every two weeks - this should leave plenty of time for you to schedule something with your opponent. Also I don't mean to be too strict on time controls, it is open for discussion along with the date. However, in the spirit of standard chess, time or increment should be 25 or higher (for instance 10 25 or 25 5 are fine too, or even the 45 45 as in TL). 35 35 is merely the compromis in case no arrangement can be found.

Those that want to be listed already can let me know, and don't forget to spread the word a bit.

Thanks all for playing in the tournament - I could hardly have wished for fairer participants. Running it was simply a pleasure.

PS: Sorry for the late update, I put this aside for a while as there was no real deadline.
