CFC Chess960 Tournament!

I made a pleasant discovery that non-premium members can join two unofficial (created by a user, not a chess.com staff member) tournaments as long as one is a chess960 tourney & one is a standard chess tourney.
Still get the message asking me to upgrade my account. Well, I might, eventually, but I am afraid your discovery does not hold water.:sad:
 
*kicks Narz*
Ow! Sending one. :D

Crap! I wonder how the heck this guy (non-premeium) was able to accept both invites (to two separate tournies)... :confused:

I'm gonna PM Erik on this.
 
:hmm: Well, it turns out that I didn't read the description carefully before signing up. I missed the part that said '960' :crazyeye:

I've never played 960 before, so it will certainly be a learning experience :lol:

Well you can drop out if you like but we'd be happy to have you. Also, one of the team matches you joined is 960, just FYI. ;)

Dell19, good to see you here again! Sent you an invite. :)
 
oh hey Dell, I had the settings set for minimal games =1, I edited this to zero so you should be able to join now if you couldn't before.
 
960, never even heard of it before. But accepted.
 
It's fun, it's the same as chess with funky starting positions and somewhat weird castling. You can view the starting position on the tourney page. Hmm, looks like quite an interesting one! Hoping we can get at least 15 or so by Sept. :)
 
Yeah. It looks like I'll have to buy a membership. :( Also, the popups are getting bad for non-premiums so that's extra incentive for me to bite the bullet.
 
That's annoying, I've noticed they're a bit more irritating than when I first joined a couple years back. At least on CFC you just get the banner on top & the adsense below. If you do go premeium be sure to join my Bird opening tourney also!
 
I still haven't talked to Erik, Narz. I couldn't afford it anyways. I'm barely surviving living on my own. I'm glad I was able to join this tournament at least!
 
This was supposed to start automatically two days ago, it didn't so I manually started it.
 
Good luck to all. Looks like I've got a tough group, but I have beaten higher ranked players than myself.
