Chess CHESS - Novices Tournament

[pickler_mz]

I have started a new tournament on Chess.com for lower ranked players (maximum rating 800) to give tournament experience and a chance to win without being overwhelmed by higher rated players, so if anyone would like to participate go to https://www.chess.com/tournament/picklers-novices-hurdle and sign up. It is open to the whole of Chess.com membership.

You need to have played at least five games on Chess.com, this is to weed out those stronger players who create new accounts with artificially low ratings so they can enter tournaments and win. Amazingly (or not) there are players like that!
