    Just a minor objection... we have only one week for 10 games. That's slightly insuffcient time(RLife and time difference ).

    Didn't he say 1 week for the first game?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    1 week for two games.

    then 4 days for each two game pair.

    I think 2 games in 4 days is rushing it a bit- it would pretty much rule out PBM and meeting up for live online chess may not always be possible.

    WH hasn't been online since the 3rd, Motep the 16th and Ethelred the 17th.

    Also, chess.com works fairly well.

    I'd like to keep the pace relatively crisp, but if it's too tight, we'll adjust. It's not as though chess tournies are renowned for their speed.

    This seems like a good site- it supports both offline (taking turns) and online (live) play.

    Ichi and I are in the middle of a real bloodbath for our first game. I think he probably has it won though.

    EDIT: I resigned, Ichi wins.
