Hello,

Long time ago there was an initiative to make a warlight chess tournament. Back in the day we tried multiday format on chess.com with decent results. Nowadays I'm playing almost exclusively on lichess.org where anyone can create custom tournaments in rt and different formats. In any case I'd like to know if there are people who'd maybe want to participate in some sort of warlight chess events. If there are 10+ people we could agree on a date and just play rt. Anyone interested?

Finding time to play RT might be hard for me, although it is the best way to play it. I had the app on my phone and played MD with friends and honestly hated the MD part of it. I usually have 5-6 moves planned out and when you play MD, I just forget everything I had planned the next day.

At any rate, how can I add you guys in case I have time for a RT one (yesterday I did, when bnet was hosed and my usual RT outlet was taken away)?

@Chris, Honestly, their app is really bad. Like to join tournaments you have to use safari (ios). Sounds familiar xD Point is, you do not want to play from the app. On a pc you can follow players, thus see when they are online.

@sze, maybe set up a WL chess skype group?

also,

Sultan http://en.lichess.org/@/SultanKosmitow (not very active through, maybe he would show up for this?)

Yeah, for now I'm just scouting if there is any interest. When we get enough people we can set up skype or warlight chat group and decide what time would be best. Blitz tournaments wouldn't take long, probably 1 hour if we go warzone style. If we go round robin or double round robin we'd have to probably decide on shorter time control beforehand. I haven't used their app so I'm not sure how good it is, but for pc they have the best interface for sure.
