i got the idea for this when someone challenged me to a game but knowing i would beat him we put a bet on me winning within 20 moves. i won in 19 but instead of the boring games we usually have and me ending up winning easily it was a really fun and interesting game.
i would like to organize a tournament with the same rules here. of course all games would have to be unrated and it won't be an official tournament but i can guarantee you a few games like you've never had before.
would like a small tournament of about 24 to be started in early jan but haven't decided how i'm going to work the handicaps yet. it will be a dual with 3/7 time controls, tournament entry rating will be used at the start of the tournament and will change as each round progresses to suit your rating. in other words at the start of each round it will be like the start of a new tournament.
the only thing i am not sure about is the handicaps...like should a person with a 300 points advantage win within, 20 moves? 25 moves? 30? this i'm open to discussion, i just want a fair tournament for all.
if you've been set to win within 25 moves and fail to do so you lose the game regardless of the result of the game after the 25 moves (this is why they have to be unrated) other than that it's the same as any rhp dual.
edit: btw both subs and non-subs can play as only 2 games will be playing at any one time.
