    So ive been sort of addicted to chess lately so I figured why not have a simple chess tournament. It will be a 8 person single elimination bracket but if more people are interested it will rise up to 16 people. The more the merrier ::):

    When your eventually matched up against some all you have to do is find a good 30 or so minute time frame where you and your opponent have enough time to play. To play just have a good way to message them and send them a link to your game through http://en.lichess.org/ all you have to do is click " play with a friend" then set click "time control" and set it to real time then set the increment in seconds to 5 seconds and the time per side to 55 then click the side you want to be on and send the link it then gives you to your opponent. To verify that someone won the match just post in this thread paging the other person you played with to confirm it - take a screenshot also maybe?

    Using this simple rules / gameplay we will determine the

    KING ARTHURS GOLD CHESS CHAMPION

    The winner of the bracket will get their choice of either one of these fine sid meirer games :
    Civ 3 complete edition
    Civ 4 complete edition
    Sid Meirers Rail road
    or Sid Meirers Pirates
    along with one of those they will win the title of KING ARTHURS GOLD CHESS CHAMPION

    What bracket will look like

    also paging the 2 chess nerds i know @makmoud98 @MrIcarus

    The tournement will start either by thursday or if we get 16 people. Which ever comes first

    Just casual chess unlimited time. Unless you ans your opponent want to make it harder on yourselves if you guys both agree you want to time yourselves you may

    Esit: doing 55 mins each 5 sec increment delay instead

    maybe you should do the standard 55 minute timer with 5 second delay. so the match will take no longer than 2 hours. that how they do it in real tournaments. but if you want it to be less, it could be aa 25min timer with 5 sec delay for a match that will last up to an hour
