The Candidates tournament 2024 will conclude on April 25, so I was thinking of having a bughouse tournament + meetup at that time since there will be wide chess interest then. Would anyone be interested in playing? We could play a tournament (with prizes) on the 26th and have a fun casual meetup on the weekend. I think it's a good opportunity to promote bughouse, so hopefully we can get many players willing to take part!
Oh Toronto that's a place I can get to, I'm excited :)
Yes
All in--I'll bring my 2 daughters that love bughouse too!
All in. So excited ;)
I will bring my classmates also
interested
What numbers are needed to make it happen? I'll let people know next month at a couple of tournaments(1 board boring bughouse) When critical mass has been achieved, do we have an idea of location (Toronto has some size to it...and I can look for hotels :)
10 people would be the minimum. I hope that can be easy to achieve because there are quite a few Canadian bug players + there's the Candidates going on! The more the merrier. We'll follow a similar prize structure to: lichess.org/forum/team-lichess-bughouse/barcelona-international-bughouse-open-2023--september-1, so the more entries I get, the higher the prizes. Would be happy to coordinate with you re: logistics!
interested! Bringing a friend with me.
