I think we could start a new tournament in about 2 or 3 weeks.Here are my suggestions:
 
English Opening Four Knights 1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 Nc6 3 Nf3 Nf6
 
Nimzo Indian Opening 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4
 
Sicilian Defence 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 e6 3 d4 cd 4 Nd4 Nf6 5 Bd3
 

I up for anything as long as the opening is sound for both sides

I'm in. The Nimzo is a good idea. How about the Gruenfeld...d4, Nf6, c4, g6, Nc3, d5, cxd5, Nxd5, e4, Nxc3, bxc3, Bg7 Or maybe a Caro Kann Panov or Advanced Variation.

We already played the Grunfeld

Ok I would recommend the Nimzovitch , which is probably the most clever chess opening ever created. And the only one that has been played by ALL world chess champions. I will now try to contact all the players I know.
 
So far ,we have Yaman,Wizardno1,LarryN and Gladiator.
 
If any of us has a problem during this tourney, he should try to contact me and we can reschedule the games once the problem has been solved. My games with Procyk were very interesting and I felt it was sad to terminate them suddenly.
 
I am planning to start the tourney next friday at 2400GMT.

I'm in.

When is the oficial start date?

This is today the beginning of this MOT. Each player needs to play 2 games against each other in this tournament. I wish to state that the time limit will be a typical one for corres games, you don't have to change it.To challenge someone, go to "corr games", one of the tabs of the main screen. Select "challenges". Select "show advanced options". You can issue a challenge by typing the name of your opponent.
The speed remains the same.Challenge your opponent twice, one with black, one with white. On the "comment" tab,you can state the opening .

I remind you the opening we are going to play.

Nimzo-Indian defence
1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4!
 
This is the list of all the players involved in that event.

Gladiator 2673
Wizardno1 2382
Yaman 2317
Bgh 2171
TorpedoRun 2063
Rpsjr 2056
Procyk 1752
LarryN 1766
TrencherKnight 1713
Grevillea 1730
 
I want to stress that if anyone has got a problem during his games he should contact me. I would allow anyone to take a vacation if necessary. Remember we have TEN days for ONE move. Also to remind you not to rush when you have a move to play this is not a live game.

I will challenge all the players right away for my own games. Good luck in your games! When you finish one game could you please post the result on this board or email me or Wizardno1? Thank you very much.

very good marijan thank you very much

Wizard-Procuk 1-0 . I don't understand why a draw was concluded between Larry and Wiz, it's a clear win for white.

I feel bad for accepting that draw. It took me about 5 minutes to accept it. I thought he might be feeling sorry for me as he was crushing me once again. I know it's a draw on Caissa's system. But give Wiz a win for the tournament game. Give me the loss I deserve.
 
Larry

Yes really this is good. We don't have your speed to finish our games as quickly as you. Rollercoaster Wiz.

I have won my second game against Grevillea

Grevillea-Procyk 1-0 a wonderful game that everyone should see.

Thanks Gladiator. I did not expect a win against a good player, so this game was a big thrill for me. [and I hope also for Trencher and Larry] .Some of the credit must go to Procyk, because I followed his advice to "do not be afraid to sacrifice". I think everyone should see Gladiator - grevillea where you sacrificed your rook for a pawn. That was a brilliant move. I could not resist taking the rook and paid the price. The Nimzo was a good choice...so many ways that the game can develop after the opening.

That was a pretty game

I suggest a new thing for the next MOT. To give a beauty prize for the best game of the tourney.What do you think?

Hope you all don't mind me barging in here, but just wanted to remind you of a nice feature where you can view a game from the bulletin board. Just copy and paste the game score from the results or your scorebook into a bulletin board post. The system will automatically add a "View game" link.
View Game

Yes, a good idea. IT could be expanded to best mating sequence, etc. The prize need not be physical...it can be just the glory of it all. In which case, it would be nice if Admin Brian could provide a tournament winners' page to keep a permanent record of major MOT results.
