CLOSED FOR ENTERIES, you can no longer enter :(



Summary: I'm hosting a chess competition, 1 mill entry fee. Winner gets 95 percent of all entry fees. Reply to this thread to enter. You can pay entry fee now or after your first game. Please like thread and add me as a friend. I got my enemies from doing something stupid and I want to regain peoples trust. More info on everything below:



As I have played torn, I end up getting a lot of spare time while playing. I enjoy chess so I decided that I should ask people if they want to play chess, however only a few people did, so I decided to host a chess tournament.

The entry fee will be 1,000,000 and will all be put into a pot of money which the winner will receive. I will take 5 percent of the total pot money for starting it. You may notice that I am a relatively new player, with quite a few enemies. I have gotten these enemies by making a post that is currently graved. It has been some time and I have changed quite a bit but I still see why some people may not trust me fully yet. I am trying to build up my reputation and hopefully get more friends so I can be trusted more easily. For this reason you will only have to pay the 1,000,000 for entering after you play your first game. I know this still is not the most secure, but I hope you would trust me with the 100k.

It will work on the website lichess.org and I will pair up people to play together. I will spectate the game and whoever wins will move up. Then all the winners will play, until the final game. The links to all the games will be open when they happen if you want to spectate them live.

If you come first you will receive 95 percent of the pot money, I keep 5 percent. Runners up will get a small mystery box worth no more then 100,000.

To enter this please reply to this thread and say you want to join the competition. If you trust me you can pay 1,000,000 right before you reply or you can pay after your first game. The deadline to enter will be in exactly a week's time (15th of may 2021). The competition will start after this date and will take no more than a week in total. You will be asked what is your prefered time to play in advance.

CURRENT POT MONEY: 8,550,000

PEOPLE: 9



Once the competition is over and I show proof that the pot money has been given to the winner, I'd appreciate it if you could add me as a friend to help others trust me.

Good luck to everybody who enters!

I would like to make something out of it, since entering is only 1,000,000 I’ll only make 50k per person, which is not much at all.

I play chess a bit, but I'm not interested in a paid competition (with all the easy cheating possible online).
Also, giving all the cash to the winner, and nothing to the others, might not be super appealing.
Also², the fact you keep some cash might add to this (low level + "I keep some cash" = people suspicious.. maybe? I personally don't mind)

My 2 cents!

(I'll keep checking this thread though)
Thanks for trying organize stuff around!

ps: I'm wondering if it's allowed btw, since it's Torn money bet for stuff which is outside Torn. I guess it's allowed, but I was wondering when I saw your original post

If he scams us for 1m I will personally hosp him. But 1m really isn't worth scamming over. Honestly neither is 15m by a longshot. I'm not worried about it. But if that doesn't give you reassurance, I'm always down to play for free... But it's more fun when you're playing for something.

I like to participate

I do recommend, this was what they did in another game I've been playing in their chess tourney, best have a discord and have both players show their full screens when playing - though lichess kinda picks up now whenever cheating is taking place.

Another alternative would be on chess.com and have the users login with their accounts instead of an anon.
Or even doing a 30 second chess960 matches would be best whether on lichess.org or chess.com

If need help to set it up, can call anytime - regardless of what's done, I'm ready to rumble!
