Hi Russ,
How about an invitation tournament for the top ten (twenty if you like) players on the site? This would provide competetive games for the participants and the rest of us would probably learn something from the games. It would also produce a site champion (Red Hot King?).🙂

Hey,
Start your own thread!😠ðŸ˜
You will never get the top player in a match. There's too many variables. You would have to start planning months ahead of time, because these players will want to reduce their game load substantually in preparation for such an event. Everybody seems to have different things they want to do, because they have freedom of choice here. I personally would love to play in all clan games. but that's not going to happen unless I'm content with 4 active games and I'm not. Sorry to upset you but I speak of experience here not theory. I won't work, not 100% anyway. Maybe 80% agreement but no more.

However I don't agree with you, 80% would be fine; if two of the top ten don't want to play then the next two highest rated players get in.
In my experience good players don't duck a challenge.
I understand what your saying Cristina, there always the move behind the move that sets up another parallel move. I have sometimes analyzed to a depth of 12 deep to test the integrity of one move. Sometimes you never know what your opponent is planning and in a tourney of this nature with only 3 days, there will be some blunders for sure. But to go into combat against the best players of the site? That would be something else. We are very close to accomplishing that with our New Server tourney Upper division, I think this is a very good field of talent and am very much looking forward to some good chess. I don't think anyone here will deny that statement.
