chickencrossroad Withdraws

Has thibault sent out the invitations on your behalf? All the best for a wonderful tournament.

Also if anyone has contact information for people who don't have a rank because they are not here as regularly, worth spreading the word to get in touch with them also, people like gnejs for example who is still a 2900 on lichess.

@okei Nope, I still need someone to help out with the invitations. crosky and I have so far covered the following possible participants:

Going to pause now

Invited the above. On a mobile here.

Just realised one should add the url thibault gave for the tournament to the message for extra clarity.

I think I've done up to #65 on the ranking including some we missed:
Ramburak
DiffractedPawn
Iiie
Tornon
TrumpetXtheGoat
Grandma
Atrophied

I continued sending but just realised that nothing after the above successfully went. So leaving 66 onwards to someone else!

Here is the full list

Here is the message I pasted:

Hello X

Writing on behalf of FishyVishy here:

Because chickencrossroad decided to withdraw from the Candidates round of the Crazyhouse World Championship, you have the chance to take his place in the Candidates round of the CWC! All you have to do is play a two-hour long crazyhouse tournament on Saturday at 6 PM GMT. The first- and second-place finishers of this tournament will play a ten-game match (as per the rules here: sites.google.com/site/crazyhouseworldchampionship/rules) to decide who will get the spot in the Candidates round! The time control will be 3 + 0 and berserking is allowed.

Best of luck!

Thanks a lot, @okei ! Yes, there is a limit on PMs you can send per day :(. Anyway, I hope the strong players join!
