chess tournaments

I wanted to do a tournament, so I'll do it. It even happened today. Of course, it's doubtful on weekdays, but there's no time later.

Today, Sunday, for example, there are 4 sudoku and 4 nail tournaments in the Vint tournament room (in good time), without the chess tournament held at Artsan, chess would be an orphan in the Vint tournament room for the thinking athletes. This is a sad fact, anyway. What if chess tournaments do not take place due to the lack of participants, but the sad thing is that chess tournaments do not take place due to the lack of tournaments. There should still be an opportunity to hold tournaments and not only 3 2s, and separate chess tournaments for the stronger ones and also those where everyone can participate, including this chess tournament for example, where the strong one has 2 minutes of thinking time, while I have 10 minutes playing against him. How can you be satisfied with only 1 chess tournament?

It's a good idea for the leader to hold a tournament with a handicap system (like the legendary Pühajärve rapid tournament), where the weaker players have more time to think. The question is how to react to the change in ratings. The ratings will not change as a result of the Pühajärve tournament. Besides, the skills of the grey players participating in these tournaments are not that bad, the difference in level is not that huge, sometimes a grey player can even beat a black player. In terms of ratings, it would be a bit unfair that black players don't have any points to win anyway, and even less time. So that ratings shouldn't be taken into account in such a tournament? Food for thought. But an interesting idea anyway!

Actually, yes, if the creators believe that there is a chess community in Estonian, then you can really have tournaments every full hour on chessfriends.com.

No, there are many sites that hold tournaments all the time - the user base is too small to compete with them and hold tournaments every half hour or so.

Actually, Meikop is right that one chess tournament is enough. These guys are passing in the chess room and don't want to play in a tournament. There's no need to have tournaments for them.
