 Chess variants (10x8)

Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as
Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

Emne: Prize Money for 2003 Tournament
I think the entrance fee of $50 will be firmly established, and the prize money will be distributed as follows:

1st Prize: 50% of all monies received
2nd Prize: 25% of all monies received

Brilliancy Prize: The game judged to be the best of the tournament will receive 10% of the prize money.

The other 15% will go to the Federation.

What will this mean in terms of $$$

10 entrants
1st = $250
2nd = $125
Brillancy = $50

20 entrants
1st = $500
2nd = $250
Brillancy = $100

40 entrants
1st = $1000
2nd = $500
Brillancy = $200

100 entrants
1st = $2500
2nd = $1250
Brillancy = $500

Remember I will sit out of this event and just direct the tournament. I think there is no reason to believe we would have fewer than 100 participants if this event is announced widely across the various websites. I am hoping for about 200 actually. That would make things very interesting!

Emne: Re: Prize Money for 2003 Tournament
I like the idea of a Gothic tournament on line, but I don't know if I can make any commitment for a live setting. I do not have two daytime hours during the week or on the weekend. For me it would have to be something like this 5-day BBW tourney in progress. Most moves get made once each day anyway. Even in this format, I lost one game to time out because I got too busy. (BTW: beware of Dredger's Archbishop!) Real life has to take precedence to chess, for me. If I had to figure on getting up in the middle of the night once each week to be sure of not timing out, it would make me less effective in the play on that game by its drain on my enthusiasm. I only get excited about games when I don't play them too much, and if I'm not excited, I make bad moves. Oh, yeah: I still can't find a source for a heavy-weighted Gothic Chess set, and trying to study moves is very frustrating with little salt shakers for Archbishops and pepper shakers for Chancellors. Who sells a good Gothic Chess set? I want a vinyl board, too. I prefer one that lies flat on a table, not one that has little humps and divots. /Fx/

Felix--The Gothic Chess Association sells tournament-sized pieces with a board most often described as being made of mousepad material. Solid plastic pieces, standard weight for plastic tournament sets, very durable floppy board...very high quality, price around $30. www.geocities.com/bow_of_odysseus has pictures of the set and order info--mh
