Is this tournament going to start in early 2007? I have not heard about it yet.

Presumably. I would look for it to show up for registration the last week of December (if not earlier).

Silly duck, why would you want to play less chess instead of more?

60 days for roughly 40 moves makes about 1.5 days for a move. that's CC blitz! if the group size is, say, 10 people, that'll give me 18 games with 1.5 day 'timeout'.

it's not for me... 😞

There will be some new vacation code going live, possibly before this tournament starts, which will enable subscribers to be immune from timeouts while on vacation (up to a maximum number of days per year).

More of that later though.

You also can think during your opponents turn...

like with any other time control... but it's still quite close to 1 day TO. I don't like less than 7 days really. I foolishly started a couple of clan games with 3 day TO, and they're a constant nuisance.

on the other hand, the opening will be played fast, so that'll leave more days for the rest of the moves. unlike with real TOs, in which everything you don't use for a move goes to waste. then there's the coming vacation bank, and the initial opponents will be rated far lower in the first round, so maybe I should try it out anyway... but I'd just hate to end up with 18 games I'd have to rush the moves in.

Let's say 1650's and above. 😛

I think it's just because it's the biggest tournament of the year. But, if you had to guess, wouldn't you think a higher rated player would win?
