We could play off-site; I used to frequent www.instantchess.com a few years ago. Just pick a nickname that's not taken and go in. I think if we set up a time we could challenge each other.

Just have anyone play anyone, keep records and post games here, and eventually there would be something of a consensus over who's the best. Over at TWC, I and Harry Lime beat everyone until we played each other, and he beat me in both legs.Originally Posted by GeneralHankerchief

Re: Gameroom Chess Tourney?
Pan' may have the best answer thus far. My original concept was a PBeM -- but it would seem that others lack patience and perhaps trust in such an approach (which I admit would take some time to resolve).
What say you?
Interested still?
Pan' on track?
I'll put together a list of players soon and we can decide pairings, no pairings or whatever.

Still here,
