But I will finish the group in third I think. Not enough to qualify, but I am pleased with my efforts. chess.com Have signed up to another tournament: chess.com but it has no start date. Is it just a case of waiting until all the places fill up? Or is there some hidden start date that I'm missing?
SPR Jan 2024 12:24pm, 6 Jan 2024 43,439 posts	Quote Pin SPR Start date choice is actually an 'advanced option' when setting up a tournament. Also under 'advanced options' auto start when full is on by default. I should have checked for some new year 960 tournaments but definitely not feeling a day per move!

jda Jan 2024 5:34pm, 6 Jan 2024 16,197 posts	Quote Pin jda I'm almost certainly through now, still one remaining close game which I could potentially lose, but my closest rival looks like they'll be on 3 losses anyway. All my other games are going one way unless I walk into a mate in one again
