It looks like I may be organising a 1 day Allegro event this year, and was thinking of trying something a little different.
For example (all as allegro games)
Round 1 : Standard Allegro Game
Round 2 : Thematic opening - player(s) select sealed envelope containing a level opening position with a selection of K/Q Pawn games ( Ruy Lopez, French, Petroff, Sicilian on K Side and a similar selectionon Q side)
Round 3 : 960/Fischer Random (again sealed selection of positions)
Round 4: Thematic Opening - but a Gambit style opening
Round 5: Standard Allegro Game
Sealed opening to be used would be published on entry form, but no assurances who gets what.
Just a thought.............
I'm not sure if all games could be eligible for allegro grading though, but maybe DMB can advise, if that is important to people.
Any comments (good, bad or indifferent) it's just a though as I said.
