CaoZ -

I understand fully what you are saying. IYT (www.itsyourturn.com) has FAR too many tournaments so that they are watered down and the results mean nothing and Dweebo's (www.pente.org) does not have enough of them so that it's easy to get impatient waiting for one.

Although my intent is to set them up and run them here about once every 3 months, we might find it better to run them every 2 months or every 4 months. The main thing is to get fairly large, reasonable time-control tourneys CONSISTENTLY going on this site, so that results can easily be reflected somewhere (perhaps like Mark Mammel's site) and that they really mean something.

As far as Dweebo's site, I believe that once he is able to set up some sort of automated system for the tourneys there, the # of tourneys will pick up. For the next Dweebo's tourney, I will strongly be recommending a Keryo Pente tourney. What's good is that he now has the opening restriction on Keryo Pente, so I think that EVERYONE will find it interesting. I have mentioned that on the site a time or two and there seems to be some good interest in it. So you can look for that in the next 2-3 months. We'd definitely want to have a top Keryo player like you there to show us how to play the game! :-)
