Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
The tournament finished without problems, as usual Belfish ended on top. The number of participants is not what it used to be, in the past we had over 40 and this time just 12, this is an all-time low. We would like to keep this tournament going, but when the number of players doesn't improve it's probably better to reconsider.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
If you have all the email addresses of the 40 participants of the past you can send them an email as a reminder. Who knows some just forgot the tournament.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
Yes, I guess that's a possibility, but people are already getting enough spam as it is, at least I'm very annoyed about the huge number of emails I get each day.
You could be right that there are not many people reading this forum every day, maybe we have to announce tournaments somewhat earlier.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
I don't read the forum regularly. I missed the last 2 tourneys because I got busy and forget to get on before the start time. This month I just didn't see the announcement.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
Start a voluntary email subscription list.
Sometimes I want to participate but then I have something long running I don't want to abort, mainly by seeing the announcement too late, or missing it.
You can put my email on the list.

There are also event sections in the Engine Programming and Stockfish discords that it could be advertised on.

Re: On-line engine blitz tourney April
It's a good idea to send the announcement by email as well. I will make a list containing all the email addresses from people registered at the server. People who do not want to be at this list can send me an email or PM, and I will remove them from this list accordingly.
