Sorry But you have posted so many threads and comments about Chess so i presumed that you are or was a top player.

In my idea anyone who feel s/he is brave enough or good enough to play against 4-5 other members.

My idea isn't new-I have seen on tv where one top player played against 5 others-He walked around looked at the board made a move and went on to the next player.

Thats called Simultanschach, =simultaneous exhibition. The many players do not flock together and disucss their next move, but each of them plays his own lonesome match against usually some high profile star player. Say a professional league player or a grandmaster. Its for the publicity, sponsoring, and to promote the sports.

In official CC tournaments in any kind of class-format, you usually play against several players two matches, with both colours, at the same time. Say the trounament group has seven players, than ever yplayer plays 12 matches at the same time.

And suddenly the avergae of 3 days per move time can become quite short, if you have several critical positions, and your real life to run as well..

Back then, when I was fully at it, I was not bad, but there also were so many better players. But in CC I always was significantly stronger than in live table chess, and this although traianers in chess clubs tell people to play CC as well just for the purpose to educate themselves in theory. CC is a theory booster, you know, and there are people who claim that in the romantic era, before PCs, many CC top champions probably were stronger players than table chess champions. But I also described that over the past 30 years I have much declined in skill, due to lacking practice and having forgotten too much. Who rests too long must rust and finally rot. I see myself pretty much as a below average amateur these days. And I overlook things that back then I never would fallen victim too. Thats why I prefer CC now exclusively, it gives me far more time for checking it all, and recheck, and then check it again, and again. That way in CC I can minimise my tpyicla wekaness and maximise my strength, which is in depth analysis, but I cannot do that this good under time pressure at a table. I analyse on two boards for example. that I playe dblind chess late in my school time is a thing hard to beoleive for me nowadays. I cannto do that today anymore, I lack the memory and imagination. I hate fast chess and bullet chess.

Too fast for me, way to less time. I cannot process things that fast.

Niemann is my coach in this Skybird match. He is sitting in the audience and blinking the next move in morse code with his eyeballs.
