Tournament set up.

https://www.chess.com/tournament/stw-christmas-24/join/a3d78f

Two groups of 5 players at present. Top 3 go through to final.

There is space for more players.  I will wait until Monday before starting it in case anyone hasn't seen this topic yes.

As before all players should have a message in their chess.com inbox with a link to click to join the tournament.

I am not sure if clicking the link above will also let invited players join.

Very much enjoying it so far. Behind in two games, ahead in one and nip and tuck in the rest. Thanks for organising, even though you're about to inflict my first defeat. (-:

Getting absolutely taken apart by IRC here. The only thing to cling onto in the first one was he missed a fork with a Knight on 2 rooks. I mean it would only have meant I resigned a few turns earlier...
