			I'd like to take part in another, maybe just a 24 hour time control? 3 days was a little too generous.

			I'd play for sure, and would play a faster one also (depending on the date/time).

			There's a cool Flames cameo in the recent Carlsen/Nakamura match online.  Magnus is playing from a streamer's house in Toronto and right behind him is a Jarome Iginla jersey on the wall which I thought was pretty cool,   .  I can't seem to find a picture online but it's clearly visible on YouTube.

			I started a new tournament.  Not sure if it will work well, I am only learning how, we can adjust for the next one. 
Max 16 players 
4 groups of 4  
top 2 advance to the final round 
1 day per move. 
 https://www.chess.com/tournament/cal...ii/join/d081d0
starts tomorrow at 8 am or when the tournament is full.

			Looks like I can edit the tourny so that only 1 person advances from each group, if we prefer a shorter second round. Let me know if this works better for folks.

			Just poking my head in here. How does the tournament work? I have up to one day to make a single move? If so, I'd could commit to that (obviously with most moves coming much quicker). 
 
Is there an app, or do you I have to play on a computer?

Yeah, you have a day to make a move (and it would notify you).  There's an app and you can play on a computer.  It's actually quite convenient.

I've probably played ~70 games against IFF in the past few months and I think I've won 3. I'm not sure, but I assume those correlate with times he was binge drinking or otherwise mentally incapacitated? 
 
Anyway, it's for fun and I'd encourage you and anyone else to just take the plunge and give it a shot.
