Here is a nice pretty picture of chess pieces to get y'all in the mood :)  Welcome to the MAL chess tournament 2015, where MAL will compete in a series of games of chess to see who will be crowned champion and who will be crowned as a loser. I'll think of a cool prize for the winner at some point. Depending on how many people want to play will depend on when I will make the cut off (hopefully 64 or 128 participants), it will be a knockout based tournament, once you lose you're out. I encourage all users including the mods to join in on the fun. If no one decides to sign up then the tournament is cancelled and I'll cry for a day or 2 since I spent a while writing this. The website where all games are played are here: http://en.lichess.org/ Users are encouraged to make an account with their MAL username so you can feel more victorious if you win rather than the website saying "Anonymous Wins!" A discussion/main thread will be made once sign ups are closed with a countdown till the time the first 7 days start, no finalized starting yet. RULEZZZZ How to sign up? I'm gonna make a better sign up format this time than my other one, pls do so in this format (take out *) [*b]Join: (insert name) Experience with chess: (say your experience)[*/b] eg Join: JOAOAA Experience with chess: I'm good, not great The reason I want your experience is so that I can make fair starting matches with users. I don't want people feeling bad if they're playing for the first time and then have them play against a national title winner. Sign-up list I won't be doing anything flashy with your names 25/02/2015: UPDATE |

| Join: Ckan Experience: Couldn't even beat a drunk I've a suspicious mind, so I can't help but think unlimited time will make it incredibly tempting and easy to cheat. |

| It should be clarified if we're allowed to use the analysis board btw |
|
| wtf is an analysis board. I think we should disqualify muuse for knowing too much |
|
Muuse said: don't think anyone apart from Kyle even knows how to :DIt should be clarified if we're allowed to use the analysis board btw |
|
| Ill fuck ya'll up |
 |
Muuse said: It should be clarified if we're allowed to use the analysis board btw I dunno what that is so no you can't use it also cmon peeps i know some of you lurkers are tempted to join |
|
| Join: Mishukax (Meridell) Experience with chess: amateur but pretty good I think he meant verifying games to see if there was computer assistance. I know some people who use that so it'd be cool to check if anyone's cheating ÷_÷ |
JOAOAA said: Googling is hard.Muuse said: It should be clarified if we're allowed to use the analysis board btw I dunno what that is so no you can't use it also cmon peeps i know some of you lurkers are tempted to join Anyway, the "analysis board" isn't something you should use in a competition. And really, I'm not joining. |

| I've put in the rules that theres no looking up tactics or using programs which tell you what to do oe anything during games. It will all be my trust in users that they don't do this as I wouldn't really be able to check And I know you're not joining |
|
| Join: ElTataa Experience with chess: played as a child, but currently not much |
| The analysis board is something that most won't even notice that you are using, and it's not exactly cheating, but it gets annoying when they try to play out all the possible options before making their move. If you play 1 game on lichess you'll understand what it is |
|
| that's part of chess, why wouldn't you be allowed to |
|

It will all be my trust in users that they don't do this as I wouldn't really be able to check And I know you're not joining Its not like it tells you what to do. Its an extra board which replicates your current position and you can just move the pieces freely and it helps you visualize. I'm not fond of it since I think part of the fun is trying to do that in your head, but since its a function within each lichess game, I thought it needed clarification. |

| If the conditions are right then all u do is click on your king and it'll give you the option to do it |
