VV-gomoku tournaments have been much more popular than chess tournaments, why was gomoku excluded from Sunday?

Forgive me, but chess and gomoku with color change cannot be compared in any way. There are many good chess coaches in Estonia, all of whom work with young people, so that some Estonians will rise again - Keres, Ehlvest, Oll, Külaots. And these young people have the opportunity to successfully test theoretical openings in practice here at Vindi. Good luck to you in organizing Sunday evening chess and Russian checkers tournaments - Vindi team!

Yes - Saaretalu basically answered: Although chess is 10 times more popular than gomoku in Estonia, this was not reflected in the number of participants in the fint tournament - we thought that the problem was the timing of the tournaments, and we allocated the most popular time of the week for chess and Russian chapels - Sunday evening.

Now I'm going to defend the allever. Saaretalu's comment was extremely inappropriate!! Keres, Ehlvest, Oll, Külaots - tough guys, but none of them are anywhere near comparable to Ando Meritee, who is a multiple Renju world champion and who won the match of the century against Shigeru Nakamura 3.5:2.5. We also have Tunnet Taimla, who has also become a world champion in Renju. Let's not forget Aivo Oll, who has become a European champion. And as for the young people, we also have young people who aspire to be Meritees and Taimlates. One young man named Martin Hõbemägi has even become a world champion in the under-12 category (2008). And there are quite a few of these young people who are involved in it, and it is also possible for them to learn the theoretical openings here. In conclusion, gentlemen, Estonia is a very tough Renju country and very much on the world map. And it is a very complicated game, after all. Note: The topic was about VV gomoku tournaments, but I was talking about Renju. I did it on purpose, because the two games are very similar. I have been to Renju tournaments, where some tables play gomoku, because Renju is a bit complicated for beginners. And in fact, the reason is really what meikop said, that probably this Saturday evening time is not suitable for chess players. There would probably be a lot more of them. I also personally know several people for whom Saturday evenings are often simply not suitable. But if the interest continues and more users come with this concern, then something can be done. Besides, gomoku-renju tournaments are relatively more frequent than checkers and chess have been so far. Maybe that is also a small reason why we raised them separately. I hope everyone picked up what they needed from this comment, TiiT
