Welcome friends!
Big announcements today for the European Open Antichess Tournament 2022! Please READ CAREFULLY for those interested in attending this live event!
@BBLGL) and me (@AbsitOmen) have had a meeting last Sunday as there were several decisions that had to be made. Over time we got feedback and opinions about how to give shape to this antichess event. We have taken all possible information into account and made careful considerations on the various topics regarding the event. In brief I will display all details regarding the event:
- This is an OPEN European event, you can attend this event even if you are from OUTSIDE EUROPE!
- The location for the event is:
SV De Raadsheer
Kattenburgerstraat 150
1018 JH Amsterdam
The Netherlands
(This is a 10 minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station)
- The attendance fee is 20 EURO'S for the whole weekend! We were able to keep it this low as we got the venue, tables, chairs, chessboards practically for free.
- Total players that can attend this event is 80 players!
- The tournament has prize money:
30% of total attendance revenue for 1st place!
20% for 2nd place!
10% for 3rd place!
(Some quick math: with 80 players that means €480 for 1st place)
€320 for 2nd place
€160 for 3rd place
+ YOU WILL GET A CUP FOR ACHIEVING THESE PLACES!
- The best Dutch player will be crowned the National Antichess Champion of the Netherlands and will receive a certificate for this!
- 1st place of the tournament will be crowned the Open European Antichess champion and will receive a certificate for this!
- The tournament has a Swiss set-up, we try to avoid that the same players are paired against each other more than once, so beat them all, and be the best!
- the playtime will be 8+0.
- the remaining attendance fee revenue will be used for acquiring cups and certificates and other costs. As a thanks, the remaining money will go to SV De Raadsheer. As we owe them a huge thanks for lending their facility!
All this info will appear on the www.antichess.org website.
IMPORTANT: to avoid ambiguities. ONLY the info on the www.antichess.org website is leading and can be taken for granted!
The site will be updated in the upcoming week and the info shown in this post will appear on the site as well.
OUR GOAL:
A live event accounts for so much more than just the antichess game! Finally meet your fellow antichess fanatics and enjoy a good talk! Afterwards enjoy the thriving ambiance in the Amsterdam evening streets. Let's make this an event to remember!
FOR QUESTIONS or if you want to attend the event, feel free to send me (@AbsitOmen) or @BBLGL a message.
We'll keep you guys posted!
See you around the chessboard!
Cheers,
André & Richard
