Kyler Murray, Larry Fitzgerald and six others are playing in a charity tournament on May 22nd. Thought it could be fun to do an ASFN version. I’m pretty sure we can set up our own through chess.com.
Anyone interested in an ASFN chess tournament?

Ok everyone calm down. We can only take so many entries.
If the scheduling works out I will play... it's been 30 years but I got the basics...
Long as I get to beat @Shane And. @Brian in Mesa. I'm all good!

I mean I’m not very good but I do “know” how to play….
Exactly!! Ain't nobody expecting Bobby Fisher or big blue

We’d be playing 3 minute or 5 minute games.

Perfect. You’re a 3 seed.I suck too badly at chess particularly in faster time formats.

I haven't played since high school over 40 years ago. I know how to play but I would be very rusty at it.

I know it's been awhile since I've played chess but, "3 or 5 minutes a game"? I've taken longer than that to make one move.

I hear ya. Chess.com lets you adjust the time of the games and that forces you to play fast. That way l can lose a couple quick games without much time commitment.
Larry Fitzgerald is an avid chess player and is the board member of First Move Chess. He played Chess.com's BlitzChamps tournament, a rapid tournament for NFL players where he lost in the semifinals to the eventual champion Chidobe Awuzie.

I run our school’s chess club. I play a couple games every day. You’d think I wouldn’t be bad at chess, but you’d be wrong.

I watched Queen's Gambit so I bet I would do pretty well.
oh poo...really?? Dude...it usually takes me 3 minutes to figure out what move my opponent made and why he made it.
Then I have to look at every possible counter move and how my opponent may respond to that counter and whether or not going that route helps my offense or opens any holes in my defense....
3 to 5 minute turns would be hard.....
3 to 5 minute games???

Great. You’re a #2 seed in the Midwest bracket. Which probably means you’re going to get bounced by 15 seed like HeHasRosen.

I might be in, depending on the times. I play 5 minute games on Chess.com almost daily. (also doesn't mean I'm any good)
What time(s) are we thinking?
