InfinityChess Prize Tour on Sunday 12th of June

[Damir]

This is our firstprize tour with 12 predefined opening positionsat move 1.
1st Prize 500 USD (- 10% for InfinityChess)2nd Prize 200 USD (- 10% for InfinityChess)
It's opento players who participated in at least 2WBCET test tours before and who played correct (=allowed) opening moves and who did not forfeit games.

Our Swiss System cannot guarantee a balancednumber of White's and Black's to everyone in case of an even number of games.(For example: If 12 rounds, some players might have 7 White's, others only 5.) That's why we choose an uneven number of rounds: 13. The player with one less White's (6 instead of 7) gets a tiebreak bonus prior to Buchholz and Sonneborn Berger.

These are the 1st moves allowed by White & Black:

1.e4 d5 1.e4 a6 1.e4 Nf6
1.d4 g6 1.d4 Nc6 1.d4 c5
1.c4 Nc6 1.c4 d5 1.c4 b6
1.Nf3 b6 1.Nf3 f5 1.Nf3 h6

In order to participate in the prize tournament, two test tournaments must be played. Next is tomorrow 4pm server time. There may be another test tournament (I hope so), so whoever plays tomorrow can hope to be a part of the prize tournament.

I can't find any information anywhere about test tournaments being arranged.

I only found Kevin saying somewhere that if one wants to know one has to be there all the time...

Thanks, looks like there will not be more test tournaments, so information about this was leaked too late. I guess they want as little participation as possible, otherwise they had plenty of time to make more test tournaments in the remaining time till June 12.

Like Cumnor said to you as you said: you have to be on the server to be aware of such tours and apparently since you are never there, don't want to be, and always find a reason to complain, it is better for you to stay that way..

[Damir]

There is Test Tour again tomorrow. Ovyron if you want to join tomorrow will be a good time

[Ovyron]

There is Test Tour again tomorrow.

It did not appear on Kevin's page: http://infinitychess.com/Tournaments/Forthcoming so if they're planning more test tournaments there's no way to know (one can get on there and waste time if there's no more test tourneys), that's what I complain about (as opposed to planning all test tournaments in advance and putting them on that page, so one can make plans.)

I appreciate your reports about the tournament, otherwise I'd not have known about it.
