Who's up for a chess tournament?!

So, I'm a keen bean on bringing back a chess tournament, who else is?

How it works

We'd probably play on chess.com, pretty good, free site that doesn't glitch. The people who enter the pool would have to give me a few dates/times that they're keen to play, and I'll match people up, so on and so forth until the end of the tournament.

If you're game, post in this thread or PM me and I'll start a pool up! :)

Edit: but if we want live games, I hear lichess is pretty great. :)

We have (so far):

Sine
Specter
TheCommando
& myself

Idk if we'll play live and do it from there or daily tournaments, live should be a better indicator of ability, harder to cheat/ everyone on an even level(limited time limits).  Will make a new account for the tourney
