He applied to my club and I asked him about the aforementioned game; I was given the following reply:
That game you sent me against "dastard" was my first game on the site ... and I was clearly just messing around. I had no idea how correspondence chess was played online, and I finished that match with dastard in about an hour. Its weird to think that people are actually going through my archives ... looking at my old games. When I first joined Red Hot Pawn, I would go away on business a lot and my wife would sometimes play my account for me just for fun. Maybe when I bought a subscription to Red Hot Pawn and started playing a lot, I should have opened a new account. I didn't really think it would matter, I come on here to have fun and play chess. No, I've never used a computer to make my moves, I've been playing chess since I was ten years old. I played chess in high school and in college. My father used to be a speed chess hustler..... anyway, nice to meet you clandarkfire and I look forward to playing you soon.
I got the announcement about the 2011 Championship tournament, but I am not a paying subscriber. Is each tournament round supposed to be played in 60 days total for both sides? Of course, that is possibly more than 1 move a day. Maybe one day I will get to join up. I think the idea of a tournament is fun.

Originally posted by Bebop5Probably 16 games, although that will vary depending on the size of your group.
How many games at a time would one be playing if they entered this tnmt?
Most groups should consist of 9 players and everyone in the group plays 2 games against the other 8 players - hence 16 games.
