Further to that, not changing the event start time at short notice would be helpful if possible
I even checked Fiona's channel last night and she also said 8pm. (I'm aware things unavoidably change, yes, but where possible...)
I'd already mailed the Galway mailing list about this and can't be emailing them repeatedly, or I'll be relegated to the spam folder (if I have not been already). Not many would actually play in the Bullet, and they'll be able to catch up on the Twitch stream later, but more will definitely want to play in the Blitz, and it would be a pain if that time changed at short notice.
Secondly (and possibly going against my first point), this thing will be around for another few weeks/months at least - perhaps shift the Rapid back a little?
Finally, I've set up an online correspondence knockout tournament (3 days per move, 6 games at a time type of thing, using chess.com since more of them are on it) for the Galway crowd, partially for the purpose of checking in with/keeping tabs on people whom we mightn't otherwise contact - I'm trying to keep this one local, but perhaps other clubs might be interested in doing something similar for their members locally, or maybe the ICU could run such a tournament on a bigger scale, just for fun?0 -

We'll probably do them quite frequently - 3 a week for now. But room for more or less - not as if we've to worry about filling a room... And scope for longer matches - for now its 1 min, 3+2 and 10+5. But we could do a 20+10 or 30+15 or correspondence format etc.
Wasn't aware the time changed - thought it was always 7 but maybe it was moved from 8 to suit Fiona? No idea.0 -

I tried to enter but when I press "join" it just keeps asking for my password. I am registered so don't understand why I can't enter?Retd.LoyolaCpt wrote: »Unfortunately, the Easter Festival is now cancelled too So more online events are coming!

I tried to play the rapid 10 min one on Lichess - I think I was doing ok I started on 3/3 or 4/4 or something, but then I looked at the leaderboard and saw that I was miles behind
I didnt realise its not about results its just about racking up points quickly, even if you lose. I then tried to play super quick but I was in panic mode, and yes there were a couple of games that were very suspicious in terms of my opponents, I couldnt swear by it but the play was just too perfect to be true. Anyway I was too far behind and knocked it on the head.
Not sure what platform or way there is to have a proper tournament (Swiss format)0 -

The scoring rewards streaks of wins, so there is some incentive not to just race through it. Anyway, it's more about enjoying some casual games for me, though other people may be more competitive.I tried to play the rapid 10 min one on Lichess - I think I was doing ok I started on 3/3 or 4/4 or something, but then I looked at the leaderboard and saw that I was miles behind I didnt realise its not about results its just about racking up points quickly, even if you lose.
