Hi Club members, I hope the opening meets everyones approval and all can accept the invitation.I'm especially looking forward to seeing how our "gun player" Shamash handles the 2 Bishops if he is able to accept the invitation.I think we all may learn a lot.
blueshrimper 19-Jan-11, 21:33	Thanks Thanks for the invite, I have accepted of course.
caveman1960 19-Jan-11, 21:35	Spanish Exchange P.S.I'll be putting Mednis "From the Opening Into the Endgame" on ice till my tourney games are completed.
coopershawk 19-Jan-11, 21:49	Accepted This could be interesting. Quite a range of players. It looks like the games are rated. That may deter some people, but that is a choice to be made.
caveman1960 19-Jan-11, 21:53	Apologies too all. My mistake I misread when starting the tourney.The games are rated unfortunately.Hopefully none will be deterred.After all its about trying to improve our endgames and not rating points.
blueshrimper 20-Jan-11, 14:02	No problem I agree that improvement is more important than ratings in this tournament. I will be making notes and jotting down my thoughts on all my games in this tournament. If a few others could do the same, we could carry out a post mortem when the thing is finished. I feel that this will add to the educational benefit we all get from it.
shamash 01-Feb-11, 22:34	what invitation? Wolfgang, did not receive that invitation; or if I did, had no idea it was for your endgame tournament. Will watch for the next one. For this one, the Spanish, would have had nothing constructive to contibute.
coopershawk 21-May-11, 11:50	The end All games have been completed, though this tournament has sputtered a bit. We were a couple of players short, so technically GK thinks the tournament is still continuing. I think the only way to end it is for everyone to with draw, then the games will stay on your record, but the tournament itself disappears.
