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).

I can set it up, unless IowaFlames Fan would prefer to, i'd hate to over step.

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.

Look on the previous page and you'll find one. Still cool, though.

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.

I delayed the start 24 hours to see if we can get more than 5 people to join.

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.

Seemed easy enough to sign up. I haven't played in years, so take it easy on me!

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.

Speaking of our defending champion, I haven't seen him sign up yet...

If anyone is looking for a game today I'd sure like to finally dive in and give the system a try. I signed up but then haven't been back.
